I usually like Almodovar\'s films and find them well-directed, interesting studies of a sometimes warped view of the human condition. I\'ve long noted his fairly misogynistic viewpoint, but felt the ... films were interesting enough to make them worth watching despite that. I found The Skin I Live In a complete waste of time - violent and yet completely irrelevant. Not particularly creative and the \"shocker\" at the end wasn\'t worth sitting through the film for.

A review from someone who goes to an Almodovar movie not knowing that there will be subtitles isn\'t worth the time to read. Please. Some discretion in review selection! f
Pedro Almodovar\'s latest movie \"The Skin I Live In\" is dark and so damn twisted. It is also well acted and keeps you riveted until the final seconds. Antonio Banderas has his best role in... years. Don\'t let anyone tell you anything about the plot. Just go and be prepared to be blown away. Full Review
A multiplicity of emotions explored and expressed in this theater piece. Some shocking; some sustaining. My companion mused, \"Oh my. He messed with the wrong man\'s child.\" It is one t... hing to be a mad scientist; it is yet another to be a man father who can also be a \"mad scientist\"...vengefully! The script stumbles to the end: a lot to cover: multiplexed, multifaceted: a bit too much, but still okay. We picked it apart at dinner in a restaurant. It held its own by 90%. All in all, we were drawn into the movie and Banderos was wonderful, as well as, the entire supporting cast. We vowed to see it again with other people.--MO Full Review
The weirdest revenge story I have ever seen. People were shocked...and laughing. I didn\'t realize I was going to have to read subtitles.
