May tell a sad story, but it tells it with so much artistry and to such emotional effect that the film is one of those rare works that resonates long after it's over. Go to Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide 05/07/2004

07/16/2020 Heart soaring just like his music but also very sad See more 07/28/2013 Poignant short documentary about musician Nick Drake. See more 11/26/2011 a great introduction to the man for those who are not already fans. side note: his sister is a treat. See more 12/05/2009 a great introduction to the man for those who are not already fans. side note: his sister is a treat. See more 03/01/2009 Far from the tired old informative A&E Biography fare, this is a breezy, artful documentary about a musician I have one of the strongest emotional connections to. Like the man's music, the film is dark, bleak, intimate, poetic. It's also very elegant, static cinematography tinted with Drake's compositions. Naturally recommended for any fan, but anyone even remotely interested in one of the most important figures in 20th century music should watch it as well. See more 02/27/2009 Drake is one of music's more enigmatic figures. Incredibly talented and deeply troubled, Drake left just three albums before his death at age 26. "A Skin Too Few..." is as much a showcase for Drake's music as it is a documentary of his short life. While most Americans came to know Drake through VW's use of "Pink Moon" in a commercial, his work is finally getting the widespread recognition and status it deserves. "A Skin Too Few..." is an interesting journey for even casual fans. See more Read all reviews
