Seen The Trailer? Then You've Seen The Film.

A toothless, unoriginal thriller, IN THEIR SKIN follows a fairly wealthy family (lawyer father, alcoholic mother, prop-set son) as they retreat to their vacation home in the woods following the accidental death of their daughter. While they grieve and struggle to hold both themselves and their family together, they encounter another family (dad, mom, and son) who a persistent about making nice. Of course, if you've seen the trailer (which gives away pretty much the entire film except for the final fifteen minutes), this new family is not what they seem.

The director does a decent job with what is obviously a paint-by-numbers script. Not a single line of dialogue or twist in the plot is unique or interesting, and the entire story feels like the product of a Learn Screen-Writing By Mail correspondence course. The acting isn't too bad, although the performers aren't asked to attempt anything of a whole lot of depth. And even though you can easily see where the film is headed, there are a few tense moments nevertheless. Unfortunately, they come after a whole lot of waffling around, and they precede an ending that feels sloppy, rushed, and pretty much tacked on. All in all, I wouldn't say it's a bad movie -- it feels almost like the template for a movie, like it wants to be embellished with more interesting characters, conversations, and plot elements -- but it's also about as memorable as a glass of water.

Make sure you have time to watch the entire film. It is a bit long, but nicely done. Worth a watch.

I agree with a lot of people who listened to this soundtrack.  It could have better songs, and it is more of an afterthought.

I was also wondering what song is played during the trailer.  I like it a lot, and was just curious.

I really liked it. If you see the trailer for it, and you think it's going to be good, you are in for a treat. This story was woven together better than any other like this I've seen.

It is shocking, wrong, twisted, and hilarious.

That said, it is NOT for everyone. Some of the scenes will make you cringe

The movie wasn't what I thought it would be like. The trailer made it seem like it was going to be more different in many ways.

Great trailer that really hyped me into seeing the movie. The movie had a solid story line, great cast, supported by great acting by Olivia Wilde. Not sure why the critics weren't more pleased

The trailer seemed to divulge the entire movie, and I was not interested.  When I watched it, I was riveted.  The suspense of plot in current times, historical plot, and history intertwined to captivate attention and hold momentum.

Just get past the movie Title. The Movie is actually really intertaining.

Did you read the headline? Yeah, that sums it up fairly well. Seen it before? most likely. Even with that drawback, it was still interesting enough to make you interested in the characters, ooh and ahh a few times, and the run time of the movie goes by quickly enough to say that it engages you into the viewing.

Really good movie.  Don't watch the trailer before hand if you don't want part of the surprise ruined.

Just see it.  What you do not want to do is spend another minute reading reviews or analyses of Holy Motors.  They're only likely to give you spoilers or preconceptions, and although the film is well worth watching more than once, I would not want anyone to miss the type of first-time experience that I had:  just strolling into an art-house theater, knowing nothing about the movie, and wow.

There are at least ten scenes, any one of which is itself worth the money and the time spent viewing, because you will not forget them.  And NO, don't go sneaking selected peeks on YouTube.  Buy or rent the whole thing.  Or see it on the big screen at a theater near you, if possible, then procure it online if desired.  I am not into Best Picture of the Year awards or top-ten lists.  There are lots of good movies to see.  But as a person of eclectic tastes, I do have a list of films that have stayed with me.  They range from foreign films like Jesus of Montreal, Pan's Labyrinth, and The Return of Martin Guerre to American mainstreamers like Saturday Night Fever and Ace Ventura Pet Detective (one of the great works of American cinema), to non-mainstreamers like Henry Fool (another one) ... and now, most definitely, don't miss it folks, Holy Motors.

Movie is pretty good but is over sold on trailers as an action film;  is great to watch just a little short on action .it will keep you watching to the end. Good film

This film is great, a rare find, well, not litterally, just a gem that may have been underestimated at first.

You've seen the trailers. You've heard your friends rave about it. You rented it at Blockbuster. Now you must buy it. Don't wait until the VHS price goes down. BUY THE DVD! Loads of extras!

It was better than I expected. I wish I saw this in the theater but because the trailer did not onterest me, I thought the movie was going to be bad. It wasn't. It is surprisingly good.
