Review of Mysterious Skin (2005) by Ben W — 28 Aug 2014
High on emotion and featuring some subtle work from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 'Mysterious Skin' is uneasy viewing but given the subject its done with a nuance and eye for detail. The story has a detectable trajectory and it's certainly a drawback and given the clear message, some of the secondary story lines could have used more work.
The direction is clear and uses some interesting techniques in the more emotionally delicate scenes. Despite being a tough watch, and some length and pacing issues, this is an interesting film worth your time.
