( Showing 1-13 of 13 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )   "With an obvious rapport with her actors and a striking style behind the camera, Hélène Angel is definitely a director to watch." -- George Wu, CULTUREVULTURE.NET   "Skin Of Man gets a few cheap shocks from its kids-in-peril theatrics, but it also taps into the primal fears of young people trying to cope with the mysterious and brutal nature of adults." -- Scott Tobias, ONION AV CLUB   "The film does a solid job of slowly, steadily building up to the climactic burst of violence." -- Eric Monder, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL   "For a debut film, Skin of Man, Heart of Beast feels unusually assured." -- Jeremy Heilman, MOVIEMARTYR.COM   "Angel presents events partly from the perspective of Aurelie and Christelle, and infuses the film with the sensibility of a particularly nightmarish fairytale." -- Tom Dawson, BBCI FILMS   "The darker elements of misogyny and unprovoked violence suffocate the illumination created by the two daughters and the sparse instances of humor meant to shine through the gloomy film noir veil." -- Athan Bezaitis, FILMCRITIC.COM   Click to read the article. -- FILM THREAT This poster is not available for sale. Browse other posters Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "French director Helene Angel's dark but deftly handled fable about familial violence has a terrifying, fairy-tale atmosphere that's in perfect keeping with its unique point of view." -- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE   "Beautifully directed and convincingly acted." -- Mike D'Angelo, MAN WHO VIEWED TOO MUCH --  "Skin/Heart feels infused with an open-minded spirit, an anger that feels clean instead of gaudy." -- Jeremiah Kipp, SOUTHSIDE CALLBOX Cream of the Crop FRESH 75%   "The all-French cast is marveilleux." -- Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY   "A simmering psychological drama in which the bursts of sudden violence are all the more startling for the slow buildup that has preceded them." -- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER   "Leaves you with a knot in your stomach, its power is undercut by its own head-banging obviousness." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES   "French director Hélène Angel's sensitive and crystalline debut feature." -- Leslie Camhi, VILLAGE VOICE
