A Man's Skin

"A fantastical, queer, feminist comedy that opts for levity to tackle a topic that is anything but light."

"Following its brilliant opening, the feature film confirms Léa Domenach’s unique status within the French comedy scene."

“An absolute delight in both style and substance.”

"Catherine Deneuve plays the godmother with gusto."

"The filmmaker proves herself capable of breathing new life into the whimsical style of Jacques Demy."

"Every actor in this film is having an absolute blast, and it shows in their committed, wonderfully eccentric performances."

"In a contemporary cinema often inclined to explore identity through trauma, A Man's Skin instead embraces the pleasure of metamorphosis, of music and play."

"It takes a skilled director to make something that feels both modern and classical in equal measure, and Domenach is certainly up to the task."

"Domenach plays with the period film, the man-woman relationship, prejudices, and puts a lot of Deneuve among the cast. Definitely and enjoyably out of the ordinary."
