Citations sur Skin Deep [en anglais]

« Skin Deep dramatizes an unprecedented panoply of overlapping gender performances and self-conceptions in unvarnished human detail, with each character judging and misjudging the others, in a calculated rejection of idealization. »
-- Jonathan Culp (source)

« [Midi] Onodera's film [Skin Deep] looks at the way we preconceive gender and sexuality and tries to break down some of society's limiting notions of what it is to be female or male. »
