An intriguing film that somehow comes across as less than the sum of its parts. I love me some Hitchcock and body horror, and here Marina de Van tosses those two in a blender, but there's a strange disconnect between the glossy cinematography and the darker nature of the plot. And surprisingly it's Sophie Marceau who seems to have a firmer grasp on the character. This story is worthwhile but not entirely satisfying.

What the fuck? I liked it? I did find it interesting and thought there were some good effects, but I finished watching it about four minutes ago and I need more time to figure out what I think about it.

Terribly convoluted, but all-around satisfying!

Ending may be simultaneously too tidy & too convoluted but plays well as a kind of Vertigo meets Repulsion meets Don't Look Now via Cronenberg. A vast improvement on In My Skin.

Marina De Van is incredibly talented. This is the Gallic equivalent of Lost Highway/Mulholland Drive.

I like Identitygames, but this one was so obvious... and the acting and directing were bad. I think the story had potential, like said before, maybe Lynch or Cronenberg could have handled it!

I was a big fan of De Van's short films and her first feature, so I had high hopes. Intriguing cast, a bigger budget and identity/body horror. How could things go wrong? Almost every note of this film is off. The tone, performances, score, and style of the film are so overwrought as to make it nearly unwatchable.

Ademas de confrontar (ò revolver, màs bien) a dos de las mas sensuales divas del cine europeo (Sophie Marceau y Monica Belluci, ni màs ni menos) este nuevo trabajo de Marina De Van confirma su talento y originalidad para crear atmosferas tan opresivas como sugerentes, ademas de su habilidad para llevar a buenos terminos un enfermizo e inquietante thriller psicologico en la linea del cine de Cronenberg.

Another (borrowing words from someone in this site), hysterical in a floral dress film, that has twisted fantasia stuffs. Some scenes in this film was really freaking me out. But yes, it was too quick too conclude towards the end. Could use a little more twists. Overall, it was good for a change.

Such a terrible movie ! Marina De Van is'nt Cronenberg and David Lynch ! Never seen Sophie Marceau acting so bad... and the rest of the cast are even worse.... Too bad it wasn't interesting as her first long feature !
