Farah R @Farah Aug 21 3 stars for hardcore acting. Mysterious Skin isn’t a film you enjoy, it’s one you submit to. Sure, it’s disturbing and unpleasant, but that’s the only way to tell such a story without sugarcoating it. See more Ron G @RA_Geezy Aug 5 Gregg Araki presents this film adaptation of the novel without watering down its painful and uncomfortable subject matter. It is a dark yet brilliant film that lays bare the very real trauma dealt to victims of childhood sexual abuse without being exploitive of real-world survivors pain and/or healing. As a survivor myself, the film resonated with me in a very real and emotional manner.

See more Cadu C @RT43479466 Apr 10 The best way to show the impact of the violation of childhood. You see how the two guys were never the same, in different ways, but equally strong. This is terrible feeling is perfectly showed by the talent of the actors and every frame of Gregg Araki direction.
