The Skin I Live In Almodóvar’s Masterclass in Surgical Sadism
Almodóvar drags us into a world where fascination and terror stitch themselves together like a second skin—literally.
Claqueta Ácida acid rating
"Antonio Banderas lives in a state of cinematic Russian roulette. Capable of touching absolute magnetism with a 9.0, only to crash into 4.8 trainwrecks that leave us wondering if they read the script before cashing the check. Undeniable talent, questionable compass." — Claqueta Ácida Editorial Staff (Odín Lagbert)
«Banderas aporta elegancia y peso a un personaje construido con tres rasgos. Es el único elemento que resiste más de veinte minutos de escrutinio.»

Jesse V. Johnson promised a maritime thriller with Antonio Banderas. He delivered 95 minutes of paradisiacal photography and soap opera tension.
