A heart breaking look at life on a Native American reservation. Graham Greene is absolutely excellent is this film. This film will move you to tears, make you laugh and hopefully, make you love your brothers and sisters in this vast universe.
This is one the wife picked and I had no idea what we were getting into. Ultimately, the film is a brutal look at the realities of life, or what passes for life, on a Lakota reservation. As always, Graham Greene is excellent!
Great movie kinda goes all dert. well worth watching! Chris Eyre is great! Someday he's going to be one of the most fam. direct. of are times! My wife has talked to him about makeing one of her books into a movie, she just has to turn in into a screen play and send him a copy and...( read more)
This is probably Eric Schweig's greatest performance, in my eyes! His range of emotions are wonderful, he made me cry! I love the chemistry between Eric & Graham Greene!
This is a MUST SEE movie!
Better than "Smoke Signals", but still a miserable depiction of life on the "rez". Seems like there is nothing but hopeless tragedy in the world of Chris Eyre.
It will make you laugh til you cry then cry til you think and then think somemore. Reservation life and brothers on opposite ends of the spectrum make this a must see film.
Although shot with little style, Skins is heartfelt and achingly real. full review
I loved this movie and it was very moving, its pictures and history is very accurate. I do believe eyre did an excellent job on researching this reservation and portraying native americans as they were and are rather than just following the lone ranger and starting wars against the cowboys...
