Review of In My Skin

In My Skin (2002)
2/10
Well that was a complete waste of 2 hours!
26 October 2003
I heard about this film while at the NY Horror film festival where the audience was told they HAD to see this intense & brutal movie…and I read some reviews that called it amazing and gripping…LIES! I recently became a fan of Gasper Noe's `Irreversible' and that was an amazing, brutal and brilliant piece of filmmaking, so this also being a French film I thought it might live up to the hype. Well, don't waste your time…this was perhaps the most boring film I have seen in years…It was boring, then briefly brutal then boring again…it tries to be artistic but it's really just autistic…it's not a daring brave piece of filmmaking because it truly makes no sense…I tried very hard to find either the reason for the woman's actions or the hidden meaning in them…NOTHING! Someone had a very good idea and executed in a terrible, boring, artsy, unjustified way.
