The Skin I Live In

"Exhilarating film (...) it’s an Almodóvar movie with all the attendant gifts that implies: lapidary technique, calculated perversity, intelligent wit." 

"Like many lab experiments, this melodramatic hybrid makes for an unstable fusion. Only someone as talented as Almodóvar could have mixed such elements without blowing up an entire movie" 

"The director, having found an ideal vehicle for his sensibility, was unwilling to return the favor by fully embracing the inherent darkness of the material" 

"As a piece of design, 'The Skin I Live In' is exceptionally handsome (...) a textbook of expository technique, but it’s all craft and shine; it is the least enjoyable of Almodóvar’s films, a movie that is serious without being intelligent."
 

"Once again Pedro Almodóvar reveals his genius for turning the ridiculous into the sublime (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out fo five)" 

"Not for everyone — there will be heated debate about at least one plot turn — but high-level filmmaking. The year’s classiest horror movie. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
