This was a fantastic film. It’s akin to a modern take on American History X, but in stunning fashion with performances to match. The story behind it is almost completely true, and the players from that story should be humbled by this portrayal of their journey. It firmly grasps monumental concepts, conveys tangible suffering, flawed heroism, and reluctant growth with surgical precision.

So I had a Jamie Bell day this week (over 2 days) – I watched Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool, then The Eagle (a re-watch actually) and finally this movie, Skin. This actor is so diverse and so talented that I didn’t even feel saturated in him so to say – he truly becomes the character unlike so many other actors. This film is a tough, yet true story that inspired me to donate to the One People’s Project afterwards. Enjoy and don’t ever think this stuff isn’t happening. It is more prevalent than you think.
