Review of Mysterious Skin (2005) by Claire B — 11 Nov 2008

I'm so amazed by thisl piece of cinema. Holy crap, this is some intense, gripping, dark material. I'm kind of embarrassed that it's rated NC-17 because I didn't know that. haha I can't stress enough how much this movie changed my views.

I keep coming back to this story over and over in my mind. It was hard to watch, but it also gives you this intense compassion for the main character (Gordon-Levitt) and truly let the viewer feel what it was like to be him.

I have a crush on Jeffrey Licon too, so that was a plus.
