Critics Consensus

Skin could stand to go a bit deeper below its surface, but a worthy story and a committed performance from Jamie Bell make this timely drama well worth a watch.

3/5

Bell is magnetic in the role, and there's real chemistry between him and Macdonald, but the film's formal glossiness and frequent overhead shots create distance between the viewer and the hate crimes on display.

3/5

Watching his journey from figure of oppression to family man is made all the more gripping with Bell and Macdonald’s chemistry, and two refreshingly disgusting turns from Bill Camp and Vera Farmiga.

3.5/5

Skin is more interesting when it chooses to film violence frankly, to face the complexity of life without naive or well-intentioned apriorism. [Full Review in Spanish]

6/10

It has a powerful start, but in the second half it loses strength with his text on tolerance, inclusivity and redemption. [Full review in Spanish]
