Chinese scholarship student Wei travels to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Shy, introverted, and hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is shunned by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous friends. Determined to change her fate, Wei immerses herself in her late father's research, working on a revolutionary skin grafting procedure that could cure her deformity. As her experiments take a dark turn, she becomes more dangerous and unhinged, willing to eliminate anyone who threatens her secret.

It gets gross, but to what end?... I don't know if the young woman at the center of it is all that well drawn.

2.5/4

It takes a cartoonish pop-art approach to its material, which deals with feminine competition and beauty standards; as a result, it also has the subtlety of a baseball bat, or perhaps a hot curling iron.

4/5

Grafted‘s original take on combining coming-of-age drama with psychological body horror is incredibly feasible. The film doesn’t look into puberty or womanhood but rather in Wei’s coming to terms with who she is and could be as a human being.

2/5

A common place but effective narrative impetus blending beauty standards, identity issues and body horror, Grafted quickly reveals itself to be a rather rushed, inconsequential exploration of themes done better countless times before.
