Deerskin's reviews
Media reviews
Slashfilm
"You won?t find any film like Deerskin, and its originality and oddness is very much part of its charm. Yet this isn?t something that simply relies on shock or its surrealist air, but on how the balance between being achingly real while simultaneously implausible makes for a head-shaking, gobsmacking good time".
Indiewire
"It?s hard to shake the feeling that Dupieux?s outré premise would have worked better as a short, as the unusual narrative struggles to make the scenario palatable... But a hilarious Dujardin performance and the filmmaker?s inspired fashion conceit yield an enjoyable diversion from a filmmaker with nothing to prove".
Roger Ebert
"A bleak comedy that pushes its characters to extremes".
Variety
"'Deerskin' is a warped fable of no great consequence, though the fact that it holds you, for 77 minutes, is a testament to the debauched rigor of Dupieux?s filmmaking...You can?t take his movies seriously ? or, rather, you can, but I wouldn?t recommend it".
The Hollywood Reporter
"Despite a few good gags and committed performances, the nagging suspicion that this eccentric concept would?ve worked better as a medium-length work or even a short remains".
