SANTOS - Skin to Skin is a film portrait of community activist and seventime Grammy nominee John Santos, a "keeper of the Afro-Caribbean flame." Rich in musical performances, Santos links the rhythms of his ancestors to contemporary struggles of identity and social justice.

It turns into an energetic and pleasant experience, which will surely be able to teach something new to those who do not know anything about John Santos and his music, or to enchant fans of said artist. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 4/5

Jennie Kermode

Eye for Film

Relatively few musicians get to feature in this kind of film whilst they’re still alive, and Golden’s interest in cultural history benefits significantly from having Santos himself participate.

Rated: 3.5/5

Christopher Machell

CineVue

The sequences where the film pauses to let us simply watch his performances are wonderful, capturing that hypnotic quality of watching master craftspeople at their work even if the intricacies of their art elude us.

Rated: 3/5
