Skin

A strange awkwardness somewhere between a tv movie and stage play, ugliness of the visuals and the clunky script put me off really quick.

I thought the concept was good, but the movie itself just wasn't very interesting. Great cast and I enjoyed the first half hour or so, but it just sort of fell off from there for me.

The film presents an interesting and important historical predicament but the story doesn't quite work as told because it's too one-dimensional.

Important story. Skilful acting, but not a particularly good film.

I expected more... *Okay

Humorless handling of a ridiculous situation: a black-to-the-naked-eye biological daughter of white parents in segregated South Africa -- scientifically explained under the heading of polygenic inheritance -- and a consequent illicit romance with a young black man. "Is this a joke?" seems a reasonable question, spoken aloud. But the hand only gets heavier and heavier.
