Reviewing Movies In Her Skin/Monsters Universty/Paris JeT'amie...and a very special mention
In Her Skin
Is a story about a 15 year old girl who goes missing in Australia. This movie follows the real life murder of a young girl who goes missing after dance class. The story follows a deeply disturbed 19 year old woman named Caroline Reid, who has a strange obsession with a teenage girl named Rachel Barber who Caroline believes is living perfection. The movie starts off with two concerned parents who find out there daughter is late to be picked up from recital, which never happens. The flustered parents contact the police and are met with laughs. The story flips to Caroline Reed (played with great ability by Ruth Bradley) who is seen as an angry insecure woman who desperately needs her fathers approval (played by Sam Neill) and for some unknown reason despises her mother. She's seen as a self loathing woman constantly wishing to be Rachel Barber. We see her quickly escalating mental breakdown and a fast dive into into insanity. She comes up with a very disturbing plan to lure Rachel into her home under the delusional belief that if she kills her she will become her. A fantastically acted and directed film that is sure to send a shiver to your very soul
I rate 9/10
