Movie was a beautiful view of all sides and perspectives in social injustice and realities. Even if you may not agree with opinions presented it's still done in a none conflicting manner.

A smart move to get Spike Lee involved as a producer, as it's right in his wheelhouse...we should really be paying attention to this issue.

American Skin is worth seeing, for the issues Parker seeks to address, even if it only partially works in leaving a mark.

New York Times

Instead of lending immediacy, the padded-out documentary conceit only spotlights the stiltedness, and Parker falls short of building credible drama out of urgent issues.

An embarrassing and ham-fisted production posing as a topical provocation on police brutality and race relations in modern American society.
