And i will not recommend it when the absurdity leaves the hinges. its a film about differentness, the peculiarities in life and the peculiarity to love itself normal or not, and its the peculiarities in the soup of thymine, guanine, cytosine and adenine e.g the code of life that becomes a mess of knots and cracks, and all kind of peculiarities that reach the daylight of the world as deformatists and freaks. babies without eyes, with 7 and 8 fingers hands, and even without a mouth, its not all fantasy, and this review goes to all the parents and individuals out there that has encountered crisies like this...i admire you all.

so its a film that moves toward the brink of absurdity, its a well made film with 5 stories sliding along the ever so prudent and psychedelicly made interiors, the choice of colours and score makes you feel uneasy, and the make up department has gone pretty bananas. the actors who are star models beside acting do a great job trying. i was convinced and cried along their painful path of life, it maybe one of a kind, and the nearest i come comparing new films ,must be swedish film called ''graens''.

in norway we sing a song written by alf prøysen called '' i bakvendtland'' or translateed into broken english ''in the opposite land'' maybe a good description of the serendipity of being... you will not regret a watch thinks the grumpy old man

Let's just say that if you only want to see beautiful people and beautiful stories and beautiful things - this isn't the movie to watch for you. Some may find it tasteless others may see that he gives groups of people a voice and a face (no pun intended). It's anything but an easy watch and you should be aware of that.

The director is known for provoking and going places (I've seen the bath short he did, which is quite "out there" and also explicit). So you've been warned, if you watch this through, you made that choice, to watch a couple of people who are mostly frowned upon by society, through no fault of their own ... Shedding some light to those topics should be recommended

2017 was a fantastic year for weird movies. While the blockbusters kept coming and often were unsurprisingly mediocre and uninteresting, many genius projects slipped between cinematic cracks and have leaked themselves into the consciences of extreme cinephiles like myself. As a person who normally considers themselves to be a semi-reasonable individual, it is essential for me to point out that most people will probably hate this movie...and for good enough reason. It can be repulsive and largely focuses on topics that are extremely disturbing (ex: pedophilia, rape, suicide, depression, incest, & plenty more) to intentionally shock the viewer...but, despite all of this and whatever other slight problems I may have with the film, I believe it to be a masterpiece...a masterpiece that I cannot actually recommend to anyone unless I am SURE this is the sort of movie they can a) handle, b) finish watching, and c) be at least somewhat entertained by for around half its runtime at the very most. Not many people will fall under all three categories, but I certainly do! To me, the dark comedy at work here is on par with the likes of Todd Solondz and John Waters, which is to say that it is transgressive, "black as night on a moonless night" (as Agent Cooper would put it),and absurd to the max while still containing some sort of truth and sense to it. Most of the film's elements do have a genuine purpose, whether it be injected with a bit of shock value or not, and the film also is heavily emotional. I cried at multiple little points throughout it, and my heart was surprisingly touched by the end. This film does not necessarily glorify any of its characters and the abhorrent things they may do or say, but it certainly gives everyone at least one moment of sympathy and/or understanding, which I believe to be an often essential trait that is prevalent in many of the films I hold near and dear to my heart, and while it does feel strange to call a film of this shocking, disgusting, and disturbing variety as such, I must admit that, as of now, "Skins" is certainly a film that is near and dear to my heart, It probably won't really be to yours, though. Just a warning.
