Funny you should be talking about this title, as my favourite BBC film reviewer, Mark Kermode, just mentioned this very title on a recent program. He was discussing the DVD release of a Brazilian horror flick called "Goodnight Mommy" and called it "a tougher version of Philip Ridley's The Reflecting Skin". I had no idea he was referencing a Canadian film! I'm intrigued, though horror is not really my thing...
I've heard strongly divided opinions on "Goodnight Mommy" but haven't seen it yet. It has dark elements but I wouldn't characterize "The Reflecting Skin" as a horror movie so I hope that won't keep you from giving it a shot someday. Thanks for listening, cosmocanuck.
