The Reflecting Skin 1990
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
really, really close to being something excellent that i could click with immensely—i adored its casual freak (fellating a gas pump, confiding in an ossified fetus, offhandedly mentioning dreams about sleeping with a goat, etc etc) but the actual acting performances are such an awkward mix of high-low affects that don't cohere into a unified perspective; viggo mortensen is palpably green and doesn't follow through on any of his emotional marks, sheila moore's histrionics slip in and out of contact…

neither of those fears panned out, but i'm thankful for the experience regardless. the inside-baseball trans shorthand sprinkled everywhere…
