Search: Starring Danielle Macdonald

The romantic plot is wisely kept in its place and doesn't overwhelm the more complex story of the developing relationship between mother and daughter.

What makes this film so much more than a thriller is the very terrible human emotional territory it dares to venture in.

Pfeiffer’s delivery is fantastically inscrutable.

Rose Byrne anchors the whole damn thing with a performance that gives the sense of wobbling for eternity on a tightrope without ever quite falling off.

This film has plenty of hustle even though it sometimes lacks flow.

The complex interaction of desire and disgust is expressed through the textures of indulgent, luxurious foods juxtaposed with similarly textured body parts in a way that is both sensual and grotesque.

There are some powerful moments in Skin, but however lasting some of its impacts the film isn't as deep as it hopes.
