Skin

There are some very powerful moments in this film, backed up by very solid performances. The ending is a bit off. I think I understand what the director was going for, but it's not quite there.

Skin is a breathtaking short revenge thriller which has a lot to say.The climax is so haunting and intense.This is the perfect way to show how racism feels like.A must watch

Stumbled upon this on the airplane. Most memorable film per minute of anything I've watched in years. Cleverly and efficiently done. The redneck racists were complex enough to show genuine love inside their family circles, such that the violent toll and repercussions of unfounded prejudice is extra uncomfortable for the viewer.

Skin is a well-crafted, superbly acted short with a powerful finish. The story reveals the influence on a child from nurturing, yet morally corrupted parents and demonstrates the vicious cycle of hate and racism. It's difficult to watch, no one wins, but the message is significant. You live what you learn.

When I finished Skin I could not help remembering a phrase by Mario Puzo at the end of The Last Don that says: "Oh, what a wicked world it is that drives a man to sin." And Guy Nattiv achieve with this work is to show us the cruelty of the world through the eyes of a child, a child who is loved by his parents and who has the appreciation of his neighbors and despite all this love he has living in the more brutal violence, learning from the example, absorbing the lessons that it would be better to avoid because the consequences can be harsh. Nattiv gets a stark story that shows that a nonsense act can lead to merciless punishment. Brilliant as a film, painful as a reflection of a world that is leading many to sin.
