WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Megan I found the second skin to be a interesting and insightful movie, as it shows the perspective of the main character but also shows the wife and Diego's perspective as well and you get a sense of their feelings as the movie progresses. I like how it shows the main characters conflict within himself as well as with his wife and Diego.I think it is sad that he cannot be himself, because he feels he needs to be what is expected of him. I find that it is the case with some people these days (not only in sexual orientation) where they feel they are force to be something they are not or change who they are not, just so that they can please other people.

terryhall2 As handsome as Jordi is (who plays Arturo, the husband in this love triangle of a film) it was very difficult to feel any sympathy for him. His arrogance and inconsideration of both his wife and lover too strongly covered the conflicting feelings that must have been raging inside of him and were only really released towards the end of the film. By that time he had died and one couldn't help thinking that that was the best thing that could have happened for the two other lovers involved, releasing them from the lies, messed up emotions and insincere game-playing that Arturo conducted. As an exploration of the self-loathing gay man who cannot feel love for himself or anyone else, then we have a fine film. The story is not new, but we see it from the Spanish director's perspective and all the actors were good. I could feel for both the spurned partners and for the friend of the surgeon who made it evident that she had feelings for him too, despite knowing he was gay. Again, human emotions explored on film as naturally as they exist day to day.

jotix100 The current Spanish Cinema can teach a thing or two to puritanical Hollywood in its treatment of themes the American movie executives would not dare to show a discerning adult public. This film, directed by Gerardo Vera shows us a different love triangle that could very well happen. The director decides to show gratuitous sex that frankly doesn't add a thing to the story, but it is repeated throughout the current crop of new Spanish films. The story is not too far fetched because as love triangles go, the sexes can vary and so they do in this one. Next time there's a film in which Jordi Molla appears, chances are that we might get to see all his endowments, as is the case with his appearance in Son de Mar, directed by Bigas Luna. The same goes for Javier Bardem, who can act pretty convincingly as he does in this film. Poor Ariadna Gil, she goes from movie to movie suffering all the time. She needs to get a supply of Chill pills next time she accepts a film offer, or maybe she can try her hand at comedy. She can even sing, because she's like that song, I Will Survive, since it appears she's unbreakable after all she's been through at the hands of some of the new Spanish 90-day-wonders...

hitmouse I saw this film a few hours ago. It's beautifully shot and there are some nice performances but it just doesn't mount up to much. It's all rather soap-operatic, with a swelling soundtrack and nowhere to go. I thought it was going to go somewhere (belatedly) in the last 20 minutes but it just got wrapped up very suddenly.I felt I was watching a remake of "Making Love". If you really want to see some emotional truth in a situation like this, see "Hollow Reed".
