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. Two Kansas teenagers named Neil (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 10 Things I Hate About You) and Brian (Brady Corbett, Thirteen) share a childhood trauma--but their responses are radically different: Neil hustles tricks, while Brady, who can't remember what happened, believes he was abducted by aliens and left with "missing time." As both try to make sense of their lives and Brian struggles to find out the truth, Mysterious Skin builds to an emotional pitch that some viewers will find uncomfortable and others will find liberating. The characters of Neil and Brian have a fullness that lifts Mysterious Skin above most examinations of sexual abuse and trauma. Gordon-Levitt has been deservedly praised by the critics, but the entire cast--which also includes Bill Sage (Simple Men), Elizabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas), Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and Mary Lynn Rajskub (24)--turns in superb performances. A striking and powerful movie. --Bret Fetzer

The performances in this movie are very good. However, the actual depictions of some of the events in this movie are far too graphic and verge on parody. Some of the scenes are so over-the-top they come off as insincere and cringe-inducing. Save your money.

The movie itself was actually pretty good. The delivery, however, left much to be desired. When I received the DVD it was visibly damaged. When I opened the DVD box I realized the full extent of the damage to the product. The box was practically shredded and the DVD itself was horribly scratched, so much so that the DVD would not play. If you wish to see this movie, don't do so through Amazon.com.

'Mysterious Skin' definitely tackles a wallop of a subject, and in doing so, it fearlessly portaits an utterly heart-breaking, though moving, and quiete often disturbing story that is ultimately powerful, and yes, mysterious.
The story is about two 18 year old boys, Neil and Brian, who were victims of sexual abuse 10 years ago by their little league coach (Bill Sage). The film focuses on each boy as Brian desperately tries to remember what happened to him while the other, Neil, can't ... Read More

I believe of all the gay films I have watched over the years, this rates as one of the top 5. I watch this film over and over again. I just purchased one for some friends of mine. It is a story, not just sex.

From the trailer, I thought Mysterious Skin would act as an ample morsel in my dietary "artsy-fartsy film" plan. What I received in return was a film that documents the bitter residual effect of child molestation, and one that inflicts far too emotional pain in the viewer. One could argue that it's done in a tasteful way, as was the way the film was described to me by a clerk at Blockbuster (who was quite cryptic on the subject matter before I rented the film), but I would have to disagree.
