Even with the numb dialogue and trite characterizations we've come to expect from Araki, Mysterious Skin might have worked with the right actor in the charismatic role of Neil.
Wholeheartedly disagree. I don't think anyone would have brought the same quality to the role as JGL did. He handled the role with care, knowing exactly when to pull back and when to go all in. He brought the perfect balance of emptiness, self-loathing, and charisma to Neil.
