SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved In My Skin, try these.

Trouble Every Day poster 01

Movie / 2001 / Drama / Horror / Thriller

Trouble Every Day

Why this pick

Claire Denis pairs erotic fixation and corporeal horror with a sensuous, elliptical style. Its sparse explanation and unnerving physical intimacy closely suit the chilly, transgressive mood of In My Skin.

The Piano Teacher poster 02

Movie / 2001 / Drama / Romance

The Piano Teacher

Why this pick

Its severe psychological observation, emotional restraint and protagonist-driven self-destructive impulses echo the discomfort of In My Skin, though the film locates its violence in control, desire and humiliation rather than body horror.

Safe poster 03

Movie / 1995 / Drama

Safe

Why this pick

A precise, alienating portrait of a woman becoming estranged from her own body and surroundings. Its clinical surfaces and ambiguous interiority make it a strong companion to In My Skin’s bodily disconnection.

Excision poster 04

Movie / 2012 / Drama / Horror

Excision

Why this pick

This similarly female-centered descent into body-focused obsession balances deadpan social discomfort with grotesque fantasy. It is more overtly stylized and darkly comic, but shares the intimate unease of In My Skin.

Helter Skelter poster 05

Movie / 2012 / Drama / Fantasy / Horror

Helter Skelter

Why this pick

A vivid, feverish study of identity collapsing under relentless bodily deterioration. Its maximalist pop imagery differs from In My Skin’s austerity, while its fixation on flesh, self-image and compulsion is closely aligned.
