SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Crappy film

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

When I started watching this movie I saw a woman that was happy, happy to go home to her husband and child. Then there were signs that her husband, Alberto was cheating. I knew that Alberto was having an affair but with who was the question? when I found out that it was a male it was a complete shock. Was he gay? Throughout the film I wondered if he was gay or not? I realized that he is actually just using Diego for sex.Alberto's promises his wife that the affair will end yet, he still sees Diego. Somehow, I feel sorry for Diego because he has this hope that He and Alberto will be a couple. I thought that he doesn't want to hurt his wife nor Diego but I realized that his continuing this affair for his own pleasure. He wants the wife and child at home and the gay life behind closed doors.His wife tries to work through her marriage but he rejects her. On the other hand he gives Diego all this attention but no commitment. Diego just accepts the way Alberto treats him because he gets the attention and affection from Alberto.I think that Alberto uses Diego for the sex but somehow when they are alone he is soft and even tells Diego about his childhood.Alberto won't leave his wife because she familiar but he doesn't want to let go of Diego because he is actually Gay. I think that he hides behind women to prove that he is not gay.overall, i enjoyed watching the movie but it had some explicit sex scenes.

I can only say that it is the first time I have watched a film of such a nature regarding homosexuality. I don't regard people as being lesser humans because of the choices they make in life because we all choose our own path so for me this is a first. I found that the main part of the film concentrated on cheating on ones partner and the sharing of grief. You still cheating whether its with the same sex partner or not and people that are close to you still get hurt any way even though you feel its all about you. I also feel that in the end sharing your grief with others doesn't need to be contained to specific sex people because people assume they will be understood better if they speak to the same type of people and the movie showed another view and worked just as well for those playing the role and I'm sure in real life the same reaction would be evident. I liked the movie but I wouldn't exactly show it to my class but that my opinion and there are so many others to consider

I rented this movie because I've been watching everything I can find with Javier Bardem in it. I think he's one of the world's finest actors. In addition, I have many gay friends, and I was very interested in seeing how the subject was dealt with.Having said that, I was quite disappointed in this movie. I really wanted to care about the characters because I thought their story and their plight was very compelling. It could have been an amazing, affecting film. I'm not sure where it fell flat. The acting was quite good, but I never really felt anything for the characters--not even for Bardem's. I was satisfied just to watch Bardem, but it was still a disappointment.I rated it as I did for the actors' contributions, but the character development could be much, much better.

A must see for Spanish film fans, Segunda Piel brings together some of the most interesting contemporary actors. The plot is however quite disappointing. Slick photography in a wanna-be-almodovar setting: interior design with striking silimarities to Carne Tremula and t.v. commercials that unluckily do not reach the level of subtility of the Spanish Oscar winning director.
