Skin

About This Movie

Skin (2017) unfolds with a raw, intimate atmosphere that draws you into Aurora's world of compulsive cleanliness. The pacing feels deliberate, reflective of Aurora's obsessive nature, and the film's exploration of human connection is poignant. As Aurora meets Manuel, there's this tension—an almost tangible push and pull between obsession and desire. The performances are striking; the lead really captures the fragility and complexity of living with such a disorder. What stands out here is the practical effects, subtle yet effective, that add depth to the narrative. It's a film that lingers, showcasing themes of love, acceptance, and the challenge of overcoming one's demons. Definitely a unique take on personal struggle.
