So, 'The Old Woman Skin' really plays with the fantasy genre in a way that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in Japanese folklore. The atmosphere is quite surreal, blending the serene beauty of Tsuchiyu Onsen with an undercurrent of emotional tension. I found the pacing to be a bit slow at times, but it serves the story well, allowing you to really soak in Kyoko's transformative journey. The practical effects used to depict her transformation are remarkable, enhancing the ethereal quality of her experience. The performance by the lead, though subtle, carries a weight that lingers. It’s interesting how the film explores themes of identity and the hidden layers of human connection, all through the lens of this fantastical premise. Definitely something to ponder over.
