My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Skin I Live In (2011)

The master director and storyteller Pedro Almodóvar, one of my favorites, cooks up a marvelous little horror movie, staring Antonia Banderas as a doctor who specializes in plastic surgery and skin grafting a experimental skin.  In the clinic that's part of his home, he cares for a patient whom his own mother doesn't know much about.  That's all I will say.  Trust me, this movie is good.  It's inventive and completely the kind of thing Almodovar does so well.  Grade: A
