Review of Mysterious Skin (2005) by Justin B — 18 May 2009
This film touched me more than other films due to the progression of damage reaped upon the boy's psyche and ability to respond to reality. This film was extremely disturbing with a few sequences that may leave some of the faint hearten disgusted.
But the film's disturbing content serves the source material and expertdly conveys to us the deprecation of this boy's self worth, depending completedly on sex to instill him with a temporal sense of being.
I highly recommend this film only to those able to cope with the film's mature subject matter and also for anyone who wants a film which shall produce a wealth of emotion. But honestly, I have no interest in re-watching it because of some of the film's nauseating sequences.
