A hilarious and twisted festival amuse-bouche with tremendous cult appeal. Read full review

Justin Chang

Although ostensibly set in the present day, this odd, frightening and entrancing little movie seems stuck in a moment out of time. Read full review

Deerskin is funny, weird and original; it features two charismatic stars, and it does everything it needs to do in only 77 minutes. Read full review

The modest running time ... means that it does feel a little slight and underdeveloped in places. However, there are enough sparks of originality and comic invention throughout to capture those in search of something winningly offbeat and unexpected. Read full review

Following the stylish mountain man as he reverts to his base, feral nature, the movie itself feels sparse, almost minimalistic. It’s stripped down to its barest essentials, just a crazed individual under the influence of the illusion of masculine power. Read full review

Deerskin isn’t weird enough to be great, mostly because Dupieux (“Rubber, “Reality”) is a little too precious when it comes to pacing, characterizations, humor, etc. Read full review

A tedious mix of Reno 9-1-1 awkward humor and the queasy provocation in Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job!, it felt like Dupieux was trying too hard, and Deerskin feels like the injection of the leather obsession just never quite meshes with the rest of the story. Read full review
