Skin

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

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 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.

This film is such a contradiction! On paper a perfect family....a hands-on, caring father, a loving mother to her son and her husband, a smart, good-looking kid who adores his family BUT.....OMG.... This is the epitome of a true horror story and it's happening too often! I hated this movie because of what it represented but give it accolades because it was so well done. Likability a 1 rating...exceptionalism a 10 rating.
