"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. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Jamie Bell's tough performance carries this forthright, earnest, if limited drama... Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- 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. Full Review

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

Skin is still a surprisingly entertaining look at the humanity behind one hater. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- 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. Full Review

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

Product Description:

The Italian LA PELLE was released in English-speaking countries as THE SKIN. Set in the twilight of World War 2, the film is a compendium of bitter recollections concerning the Allied liberation of Naples. These memories were originally bundled together in book form by Curzio Malaparte, played herein by Marcello Mastroianni. If you've gathered that the tone of the film is anti-American, you're not far off base: it's too bad that cowriter/director Liliana Cavani was more interested in her agenda than in entertaining the audience. The best performance is rendered by Burt Lancaster as General Mark Clark.
