    Pwerful!

    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.

    A short that sticks with you

    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.

    Can't rate this...

    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.

    Some good moments, ruined by the ending

    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.
