In Her Skin

In Her Skin (2009) is an Australian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. The story comes from a real tragedy: one evening, after her dance class, fifteen-year-old Rachel boards a tram where her father is meant to meet her at the final stop. She never arrives.

What follows are weeks that hollow out everyone who loves her. Rachel's mother and father swing between the police and their own dread while the truth of what happened surfaces piece by agonizing piece. Director Simone North tells it from three angles at once — the missing girl, her family, and the person behind the disappearance — searching for how envy of someone else's seemingly perfect life can curdle into something irreversible.

Guy Pearce and Miranda Otto play the shattered parents, Sam Neill appears as part of the adult world circling the case, and Ruth Bradley takes on the hardest role of all. The film is bleak and heavy, with no genre comforts — not an easy night in, but honest and fiercely acted. Stream In Her Skin (2009) online on iFILM.
