Flesh Out Ratings & Reviews
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
The film elicits both sadness and outrage, framed within the simultaneous, progressively resigned and rebellious inner life of the young protagonist. And that happens to be related personally to the director herself, when gazing in the mirror.
CC2K
Lauren Humphries-Brooks
Flesh Out is strongest when it delves into the complexity of female relationships, weakest when it attempts to provide more narrative arc to a satisfying conclusion.
The Pop Break
Marisa Carpico
Occhipinti's film may not be the most fun film at this year's [Tribeca] festival, but it's one of its most though-provoking and certainly one of its best.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
The film paints a sympathetic portrait of a woman awakening to misogynistic conditioning disguised as cultural convention.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
chipinti's film benefits from a strong documentary underpinning - with the lead actress saying that 70 per cent of what occurs is based on her own story at the film's Berlin screening - showing how strong cultural expectations like this can be.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Lead actor Deiche, drawing on her own experience, conveys the internal conflict slowly building in Verida, communicating mostly with her expressive eyes.
