Reviews/Notes:

• “Think In My Mother’s Skin as the meaner, less hopeful cousin of Pan’s Labyrinth. This has a fairy but it’s not a fairy tale. It’s a more brutal coming-of-age film. Erik Matti’s Vesuvius comes into mind.” (Read more)
  – Vinson Gabato (3.5/5)

• “Kenneth Dagatan’s In My Mother’s Skin boasts a polished production design that pulls you into the story’s setting and time, providing a grim and somber atmosphere. Tala, played by the film’s breakout Felicity Kyle Napuli, takes the audience to the frontlines of the story.” (Read more)
