Skin

This film tells the story of a young man who exits a racist organisation.

It's a remarkable true story, one that deserves to be seen by a wider audience. Acting is great, particularly Byron and his wife.

Some people have rated this a 1 star and others a 10, forget those reviews because those people don't have a clue, this movie isn't a 1 and it's definitely not a 10, it's a solid movie, it's not the best thing ever made and it's not the worst thing ever made, it's just a solid slightly above average film with some great acting spearheaded by an outstanding performance by Jamie Bell.

The story is kind of familiar and formulaic to every other similar kind of movie that deals with this subject matter, you've probably seen this story played out before, our main protagonist starts off with strong prejudices and beliefs which throughout the course of the film he starts to question, it's nothing new, but I didn't find it made his journey any less interesting to watch. It's got some great acting, it's filmed well, like I said above it's a solid film.

I did feel that some of the events in the film were a bit rushed, it felt like it could use a few more scenes to flesh out characters relationships a bit more, especially when it came to his relationship with the gang and 'Mom & Pop'.

Worth a watch.

User freqeteq's review is on point, especially the fake 10's and idiotic 1's.

This is a solid B-grade biopic by newb writer, director and producer Guy Nattiv (only his 4th full length feature film, priors all short films).

His camera work and directing his scenes and cast was excellent, and all actors were outstanding, especially Jamie Bell.

The cinematography was great and the score on point. A few plot issues, and the pacing could've been better/faster, or some scenes edited down, as the 2 hour runtime felt much longer. But for a newb writer/director mainly experienced in short films, these technical issues can be easily forgiven.

An enjoyable biopic, and well deserving of an honest 8/10 from me.

This is worth a watch. It's certainly not Oscar worthy nor a one star crap. I know the story and they did take a few liberties with it, but none that really change the heart of it. The acting was good as was the cinematography which aptly conveyed the bleak realities of a hate group in the middle of a rust belt winter, whether belonging to one or trying to extricate yourself from one. It's a good movie. To me the worst thing was that nerve wracking, heavy metal cello they threw in at odd times. Definitely way low marks for the soundtrack.

I have no idea why this is being compared to American history x . This is a true story about a real person coming to realize his choices have made him hate the Skin he lived in. Powerful performance by Jamie Bell he is amazing
