There are few filmmakers -- David Lynch comes to mind, Woody Allen -- who have a completely unique way of imprinting a film. Nobody but Pedro Almodovar could have made The Skin I Live In. And that's high compliment.
Tom Long, Detroit News

These are questions one is left with -- and that's not an entirely satisfying feeling. Yet it's hard not to be drawn into the story, and even more, into the gorgeous storytelling.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

Despite its scalpel-like precision, pic falls short of its titular promise, never quite getting under the skin as it should.
Justin Chang, Variety

Only someone as talented as Almodovar could have mixed such elements without blowing up an entire movie.
