Skin could stand to go a bit deeper below its surface, but a worthy story and a committed performance from Jamie Bell make this timely drama well worth a watch.

Skin is not a "nice" film to watch. But we watch it. And we keep watching it, in our heads, for a fair while after it ends. Sep 25, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

"Skin" is a superficial and disappointing look at a person, a topic, and an organization that deserve a better, more nuanced portrayal than what Nattiv delivers. This is why "Skin" is so enraging. It can only be hate-watched. Jul 26, 2019 | Full Review…

Skin is the amazing story of a man who went to extreme measures to change, on the outside and within his heart. Jul 26, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

[Seems] after awhile to take on an allegorical quality, analogous to America's agonies in trying to erase our country's own disfiguring racist heritage. Let's hope we can someday come out as unblemished as Widner's face. Jan 6, 2020 | Full Review…

The film is slightly longer than it needs to be, but it offers an authentic, thought-provoking story about redemption and forgiveness. Oct 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

With a supporting cast that includes Bill Camp and Vera Farmiga, it's clearly well intentioned but never quite delivers. Oct 1, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Bell is magnetic in the role, and there's real chemistry between him and Macdonald, but the film's formal glossiness and frequent overhead shots create distance between the viewer and the hate crimes on display. Sep 29, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
