Comforting Skin

A complete waste of time. Who funds this crap? There is no gore, violence, just a bunch of bad tats cgi crawling all over the tattooed girl the whole movie and some sex. That's it. I was hoping it would at least build up to a decent climax and that didn't even happen. This movie was so bad and boring I admit I had to fast forward part of it. I saw this movie on netflix- most of the horror movies on netflix are about 80% bad but this is by far the worst I've seen.The only comfort was when it was over.

I love this movie they should reboot the movie but more sexual and longer and better and they should make comforting skin 2 and comforting skin 3 I think a lot of people would love that two more sequels would be amazing. They rebooted a whole bunch of other movies I think a reboot for comforting skin would be a good idea in my opinion I think comforting skin tells the story just about like what people are going through in general whether it's a mental illness or they've lost someone or they've lost their way in life but yeah comforting skin is a wonderful movie and I think everybody should see the movie.

I'm not one of those people who likes any and every movie they watch. This movie is unlike any other I have seen, and the characters, while depressed and full of psychological issues, are relatable and likable. The story is unusual and touches on many real subjects people deal with daily. Great cinematography.

The story is bleh. The acting not terrible. If you are into women with personality disorders who constantly feel sorry for themselves while making excuses about how the world treated them unfairly. Then you are in for a treat.

But I warn you. It would be an act of masochism.

The soundtrack is probably by far the worst thing. Its literally painful. Discordant shrill piercing noise describes the track, calling it a soundtrack would suggest that it had some form of melody. Its worse than chalkboards and screeching horny cats.

Well. You been warned.

I really like this film and I'll tell you why. When seeing Canadian films we tend to see the dark and quiet and its almost like a European film but you can't quite put your finger on it. Oh yes, its Canadian. But Comforting Skin is different in a way that we haven't seen a film like this in a while. It is a strange yet familiar coming of age film, meaning out of young middle 20's. You know, the time of moving away from the chaos of poor judgement and freedom and into adulthood. The point where you are suddenly awake.

Its not your typical Canadian film or film at all and that is why its so refreshing. The acting is great. Tygh Runyan and Jane Sowerby do a good job at carrying the story and you never know whose perspective the story its being told from. However, Victoria Bidwell gives an exceptional and under-rated performance as Koffie, the distraught young lady who becomes obsessed with her imaginary or non-imaginary friend that is a the weaving tattoo that has come to life on her body. Franson writes and directs in such a way that you'll root for Koffie and you'll hate her and them and then there are redeeming traits from them that will bring you back to really empathizing for all of them.

This film will keep you guessing and will linger in your mind for days after. Those ones are the best.
