Definitely not for everyone

Besides being slow paced and at some times poorly directed, In Her Skin made a huge impression on me and I am still shivering. This movie, that I have to admit I only saw because I'm in the process of watching every movie that Guy Pearce has appeared in, both has it flaws and strengths. What made the biggest impression on me, was the acting and how North managed to make a movie about a brutal killing where the murderer is as much a victim as the killed girl. Miranda Otto, Sam Neill, Ruth Bradley and Guy Pearce all do a great job. Maybe a bit of overacting here and there, and I blame the director for that. If this movie had been a success box office-wise, I am convinced that Ruth Bradley had been a name that we all would recognize. I was about to give the movie a 7/10 rating. But then when i listened to the songs by John Butler Trio that are used as the soundtrack of the movie, I decided that the usage of them is the films greatest strength. The final judgment is that In Her Skin is a movie that far from everyone would enjoy, but the people who will enjoy it will also be grabbed by it and be left with a hollow feeling and a reminder that the world at times is a brutal and unfair place.

I am you

The title it played in Germany at the Fantasy Filmfest. A very strange little movie, that is very dark and will very likely appall a lot of people (if they don't know what they're in for especially), because of it's theme, but also because of it's graphic nature (at times, not that often, but still quite disturbing).The actors involved in here are all good, Guy Pearce giving a better performance (there must be a better script at hand I reckon) than in "Don't be afraid of the Dark". One of our lead actresses has to go to really tough places and she manages to do so very convincingly. Not for everyone and I'm not sure "enjoy" would be the right word to use after watching it, but this is a really good work of art!

Powerful, beautifully shot film, better than you'd expect

A film with many names. "I am you" originally, turned to "In her skin" and in other countries the rather over used and not very original "Missing". Already in the opening scene you realize this is film which will be pleasant on your eyes. A great opening scene! Beautifully shot, great camera movements, and great setting of emotional feelings, as well as colors and sounds. This is a film which is eye candy, though it's a bleak true story. The film starts with a young daughter, Rachel, going missing on her way from dance practice. The parents know that this is serious, but as always, the police doesn't. Then we tend to another story, about Caroline, which has a mental illness, which affects not only the near family.The film's problem is that the stories are starting over and over in the beginning and takes away the tension. This doesn't help the story telling. Too bad, because there's such an amount of talent here. I think a more traditional storyline would have done different. Without this, the film would have gotten a better score. Still a great story, but the jumping doesn't allow a proper story building for this to become a classic. The mother of Caroline and her crying didn't convince me, but the cast is doing a great job. Amazing acting. A-class. Ruth Bradley is amazing in her role as Caroline.The film reminded me of "Black swan" in more than one way. Both the mental illness, the ballet dancing and the overall quality. Well picked score, heavy on emotion. A great Film, and one if the better Australian films I've seen.
