Good movie, just because no Almodovar movie is bad... But it's a bit simple (for him) and definitely short on fresh ideas... We will see if he re-invents himself, but for now he has already produced enough masterpieces to secure the place among the greatest geniuses of world cinema... Even if this movie is not one of his greatest...
Yes, I recommend this movie.

...and director Almodovar smoothly delivers them in this twisted tale of karma, insanity, revenge, passion, God-complex and sex-change surgery. I enjoyed every second of it. Almodovar's style and method keeps us guessing until the last act as to the full picture and the depth of depravity. Banderas and the entire cast are perfect. There is not a dull moment in the entire 2 hours. This is a weird, strange movie with the most basic of human emotions and excess pumping throughout the production. Original, stark, mesmerizing at times and hard to watch at others.... The Skin I Live In should not be missed on the big screen by those that like Almodovar .... and that like the quirkiest of movies. An adult film and not for the squeamish. This one is bound to elicit strong feelings either way. A perfectly formed rhino horn up.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

How anyone can give this movie less than a 5 out of 5 is a mystery to me. This is the kind of movie you can watch over and over again because the interaction between the characters is both fascinating and impelling. Very original story and excellent acting. I found myself glued to the screen till the very end.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Escenas repetidas, trama absurda, la música utilizada es muchas veces estridente, molestosa al oído. La buena actuación de la protagonista es lo único que sinceramente salva en algo la pelicula.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

typically love Almodovar films & this is NO exception. Such a heart stopping thriller with so many twists & turns.. Antonio Banderas is a brilliant "mature" actor now enjoyed it immensely & have recommended to all of my friends !
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A story of revenge and love in which a doctor creates a woman, falls in love with her, and is inevitably destroyed by his creation. In some ways this is a Pygmalion meets Frankenstein story where a brilliant but vindictive plastic surgeon has created an illegal trans-genetic skin. But the metaphor of it being skin deep resonates in this very European adult story with lots of nudity, drug use, and rape, yet without prurient content. It shocks you as you begin to comprehend the depth of the story as it unfolds in a nonlinear way jumping backwards several times to fill in the blanks and complex family, professional, and serendipitous connections. The story centers on sex reassignment surgery so be prepared.
Almodovar is clearly a master film maker and this is a very strong work with excellent performances especially by Antonio Banderas and Elena Anaya. Not your run of the mill story.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This film did a great job at revealing each character's past. This way I could understand how they became who they are. Each actor/actress played their role superbly. The subtleties of emotion in their eyes revealed more than their actions. Pedro led us through this story perfectly. The music was outstanding. Almodovar has become so well at storytelling through his movies that I anticipate his next one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
