Jean Dujardin dazzles in absurdist horror.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 11, 2024

It takes only an hour and a quarter to show Dupieux's obsessions with the expressive mechanisms of cinema, without ever losing the surprising side. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 30, 2022

If you come to the movie on its own terms and just go with the nuttiness, you’ll find a wickedly entertaining and devilishly funny yarn that plays by its own bizarre set of rules.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2022

The opportunity was present to create a unique experience, but nothing seems to have been built on that foundation.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 5, 2022

Absurdly funny and very bloody. Dujardin is both hilarious and deeply melancholic as a man with the world's first interesting midlife crisis.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 2, 2021

A biting social commentary on the extremes that some people will take in order to feel important. On another level, Deerskin is a portrait of a man driven insane by loneliness.

| Aug 2, 2021

There's an earthiness to Deerskin that steers it away from the most common absurdist pitfall (pretentious and cynical intellectualism), making this a fun, silly yet very dark watch.

| Jul 27, 2021

An incredibly entertaining film that takes the audience in a very unexpected direction, Deerskin is deliciously dark and offbeat, with Dujardin and Haenel making it a truly captivating watch.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 26, 2021

The director proves a master of the tragicomic as he observes one man's slip from midlife crisis to madness by way of obsession.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 26, 2021

The movie is relentlessly ridiculous, but it also has enough heart to hold the viewer's sympathy, even as we laugh and cringe at the escalating body count.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 22, 2021

For a while, this crusade gives Quentin Dupieux's film a lovely, mysterious oddness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 20, 2021

[An] uproariously funny black comedy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 18, 2021

It's a one-gag movie and Dupieux doesn't push his luck, keeping the running time lean and exploiting the comic potential of watching The Artist's Jean Dujardin play a man coming apart at the seams.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 16, 2021

Everyone looks like they're having fun, which is more than can be said for me.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 15, 2021

Both epically flimsy and oddly lingering.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2021

The richness and strangeness of the comedy is somehow simply down to Dujardin's frowningly serious and haughty face.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2021

The most terrifying fashion film since The Devil Wears Prada, Deerskin is a deliciously ridiculous farce played largely straight. This is a jacket you will feel the benefit of.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 13, 2021

Is the most fun you can have without actually getting your clothes dirty.

| Jul 13, 2021

Deerskin has all those components-great performances, a solid script, efficient pacing, and narrative themes that keep the viewer interested.

| Jul 11, 2021

Deerskin is still wicked fun and earns some goodwill for its sheer originality, but its successes remain decidedly minor and ultimately won't live in the memory for long.
