La propera pell

really loved the way this film built up to the ending. All the cast was great and like many a Spanish movie, this did not disappoint. Highly recommend this movie. I wonder if these are other movies with Alex Monner in the lead. He brought out the anguish of the character without overdoing it!

I have just watched it on Netflix. I've yet to name a Spanish movie that I did not really like. May be it was "Leaving" (2009), Partir (original title), which I think is an exception, for Sergi López was a miscast. Everyone's acting in The Next Skin, including Sergi López were very good. I was really impressed with Àlex Monner performance. The film kept me engaged from the first minute through the very end. The tension was building up nicely and kept me guessing what the next scene was going to bring. I deeply cared about the characters. The ending was totally different from what I thought it would be. Overall The Next skin is a nicely made film I recommend to watch.

It is easy to identify with a story this broad ... with the mystery of it and with the implication. It is easy to understand both sides ... well to a degree. Because we know or see how the return (or is it?) of someone affects not just one family, but many others.

Especially when that individual has certain issues he has to solve or understand himself. A movie for the mind ... with things you may not approve of (love wise and other... wise). Still the tension is there and it is more than well played. Low budget drama for those who care

It's a movie with a simple plot, but it has enough depth to be interesting.

This film is about a problematic young man being reintroduced with his mother. He has amnesia about his past. Is he the real missing child? By the end of the film I couldn't care less. It is a sad film about miserable people living in a hostile environment. Everyone seems to be angry and lonely or bored. The film trudges along to its sad ending without any redeeming feature in its grey colour monotones and linear story to make it more interesting other than its misery. The characters other than the main one are not developed and makes the film boring. Besides there are no likeable characters at all. The acting though is first class throughout especially by the main protagonist.
