	Film Reviews \| Mysterious Skin
		Mysterious Skin is a risk-taking film that dares to wed shock and tenderness in a saga of pedophilia and its aftereffects.
		With Mysterious Skin, Araki achieves a synthesis between the generous spirit of his first two micro-budgeted, halting features (Three Bewildered People in the Night and The Long Weekend O’ Despair) with the expertise of his hyped-up journeyman efforts (The Doom Generation, Totally F***ed Up).
		Mysterious Skin, though, avoids falling its own repetitious orbit by paying equal attention to the relationships the boys have to maintain to keep healthy.

		Though the subject matter of Mysterious Skin is as sensational as that of Gregg Araki's other films (such as Totally F***ked Up, The Doom Generation, or The Living End), his direction is richer and more multilayered than ever before.
		"Mysterious Skin" is likely to offend a lot of people what with it's human and kind portrayal of an abuser but Araki cannot be faulted for presenting the whole story: he shows us, let's remember...he does not tell us.
		Mysterious Skin (2004) directed by Gregg Araki is powerful, shocking and absolutely convincing in every detail movie about two teenagers that were deeply affected by the...

	village voice > film > Mysterious Skin by Dennis Lim
		But in daring to contemplate the unthinkable, Mysterious Skin proves that it's possible to talk about pedophilia—indeed, to condemn it—without resorting to the histrionics of Fox News amber alerts, and furthermore to acknowledge children as sexual beings without echoing the rhetoric of NAMBLA literature.
		Mysterious Skin keeps the boys suspended in divergent orbits, pulled along by their respective dysfunctions.
		Mysterious Skin is at times slack and schematic: The narrative relies on convenient oppositions and symmetries to retain its double-helix form.

	kamera.co.uk - film review - Mysterious Skin directed by Director: Greg Araki - reviewed by ...
		Mysterious Skin seems to signal that Araki is reaching maturity – and it is probably the film that will garner him some cross-over success: it has moments of beauty and genuine emotion, and the cinematography is beautifully composed, the antonym of the gritty documentary feel pursued by much independent cinema these days.
		Mysterious Skin could have been a Todd Solondz film, the way it seeks to probe open wounds in a kind of picket-fence America.
		I came out of Mysterious Skin with a full blown anxiety attack..To be sure it was powerful material but as for being a mature reflection about paedophilia I seriously have to disagree.

	New in Theaters: Mysterious Skin - Cinematical
		A deeply affecting adaptation of Scott Heim's 1995 novel, Skin is the perfect "comeback" project for the filmmaker: it allows him to show off his brilliant sense of design and expert handling of acid-tinged humor within the confines of a solid structure and fully-realised characters.
		Skin tracks two boys, Neil (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Bryan (Brady Corbet), who at the age of eight experience a common incident of sexual abuse.
		Mysterious Skin has all that, and more importantly, it shows Araki melding those talents more seamlessly than ever before.

		As Mysterious Skin reveals, however, he and his best friend Neil (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) were molested by their Little League coach.
		While Mysterious Skin is about the simultaneous desire for and reconstruction of truth, there are things stated and shown that cannot be ignored.
		Mysterious Skin suggests why Neil does what he does, but to its credit, does not explain why he is who he is.

		Mysterious Skin is the director’s most assured work to date, it retains the explicit sexual drive that runs through his work but adds an unexpected maturity to the proceedings.

		Mysterious Skin is based on a novel by Scott Heim, who says several of the incidents actually happened to him.

	Mysterious Skin
		Mysterious Skin was logistically a really complicated production due to its ambitious nature, tight budget and schedule, ’80s-’90s period, plethora of locations (rural Kansas and New York), challenges of working with sometimes very young actors, etc. But it became a pure labor of love for every single person in the amazing cast and crew.
		We were all devoted to Scott Heim’s original novel and felt a huge responsibility to faithfully bring such a powerful, important and emotionally devastating story to the screen.
		In the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, we made Mysterious Skin in an uncompromising, old school indie way—and it’s been the most rewarding, deeply gratifying experience of my career.

		And yes, Mysterious Skin is a brave, outrageous, beautifully-acted sliver of celluloid.

	Mysterious Skin London Movie Review
		With Mysterious Skin, however, the emphasis is firmly on character, which makes the shocking elements all the more powerful when they finally appear.
		Based on the novel by Scott Heim (who co-wrote the screenplay), Mysterious Skin centres on two teenaged boys whose lives are haunted by a shared incident in their past.
		To sum up, Mysterious Skin is a gripping, moving film that definitely isn’t for everyone (woe betide anyone who goes to see it just because “Dawn from Buffy” is in it), but is unquestionably worth seeing for its performances and its uncompromising direction.

	Tonight - Mysterious Skin
		When I went into the cinema to see Mysterious Skin, my heart was full of dread as I prepared for the inevitable white-knuckle ride.
		A dead ringer for Keanu Reeves, the young actor brilliantly embodies a boy whose ability to function as a normal, emotional being has nearly been destroyed, but who has poignant intimations of the unviolated child he used to be.
		Mysterious Skin is a tough trip, but its keen understanding of a desperately difficult subject will reward those who are strong enough to see it.

	BBC - Movies - review - Mysterious Skin
		The pattern continues with Mysterious Skin, an unsettling story about the effect of childhood sexual abuse on two boys.
		What's disturbing is the director's soft-focus treatment of this vile taboo and his dangerous suggestion that for every traumatised victim there's a willing one.
		Unlike The Woodsman, which dealt maturely and unflinchingly with a sex offender struggling to reform, Mysterious Skin romanticises its hero's quest for the truth, suggesting a link between paedophilia and homosexuality and even trying to redeem the boys' seducer.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Mysterious Skin"
		It's far too easy for an artist to gas up on dime-store victimology, or, worse yet, to keep his story running on the fumes of cheap pathos.
		But Gregg Araki's "Mysterious Skin," which traces the intertwining but distinctly different strands of how two young men deal with their shared history of sexual abuse, doesn't fall into either of those traps.
		But Araki doesn't make "Mysterious Skin" -- which was adapted from Scott Heim's novel -- about suffering; it's really a picture about getting on with things, about the freeing benefits of coming to terms with the past instead of being a slave to it.

		Those are the first words spoken in Mysterious Skin, and they come from Brian Lackey (Brady Corbet), a distressed 18 year-old, born and raised in a small Kansas community.
		While Mysterious Skin is often gripping and fascinating, at times, it is difficult to connect with the characters.
		It pushes the audience out of their comfort zones without being pushy or manipulative, and journeys into a world that only the bravest of filmmakers dare to explore.

		Scott Heim is an author with so much to say, and he presents his story with such passion and detail that you would almost think his fictional characters illustrated in Mysterious Skin, are flesh and blood individuals like you and I. But isn't that the secret idealogy of fiction?
		Mysterious Skin is an original and imaginative representation of the effects of child abuse, and although the author is graphic in his writing, his style offers a very unique way of bringing ordinary characters to an exciting new level.
		The story concerns two male characters and their journey to discover a truth about their past and who they really are, but I don't want to reveal too much as I may spoil it for new eyes.
