Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Lucas I'll make this short. The film is not that bad, it has a strong subject and handles it quite well. It opens interestingly, and then it's all the way dawn.The problem is that the movie is predictable,but in a way i've never seen before(and i've seen a lot).In the very first 10 - 20 min you can tell how it will end. I almost stopped watching it because i felt disappointed. Instead, i saw the whole movie,only to confirm my suspicions.And that's not because i'm sherlock,but because it's movie itself that shows you what should be a "mystery",at the very beginning,taking away any possibility of suspense or surprise. I think that was a huge mistake(but it seem to be just my opinion, since it has a decent rating)Anyway,i think that you deserve to know that you can know the whole story,in the first quarter of it.My rating is to balance,because it's overrated.

MovieHoliks Joseph Gordon-Levitt has really been impressing me in many performances and films over the years ("Brick", "Manic", "Looper", "Don Jon", etc..), so I was surprised to find this 2004 film off HULU the other day- that I've never heard of-??"Mysterious Skin" was directed by Gregg Araki, who also wrote the screenplay based on Scott Heim's 1996 novel of the same name. The film tells the story of two pre-adolescent boys in the 1980s who are sexually abused by their baseball coach (Bill Sage, who I'm sure intentionally resembles a 1970s Robert Redford-??), and how it affects their lives in different ways into their young adulthood. One boy (Gordon-Levitt) becomes a reckless, sexually adventurous male prostitute, while the other (Brady Corbet) retreats into a reclusive fantasy of alien abduction.This is one of those little films that starts off slow, and you gradually find yourself becoming emotionally involved very heavily with it's two main characters- you begin to see and experience things from their eyes- almost to a scary level-??- so be warned, this movie is not for everyone... Michelle Trachtenberg, Mary Lynn Rajskub and a very hot Elisabeth Shue round out the cast.

hugoazevedo9 I decided to watch this movie because I thought it had a compelling story and was told in a unique way. This is not true. The movie is not about a boy marked by his childhood and another in the pursuit of a dark secrete. It's a movie about disturbing homosexual experiences with too much explicit pedophile scenes. There are movies that have raw homosexual scenes but this involve children and is just sick. It's like the director puts this horrible spectacle not because is needed to tell the story but rather because it's the story. The plot is predictable and you end up just with an uncomfortable experience. 2 stars and not one because it has very good acting. Don't watch this movie.

Dugan Fairview Like the proverbial frog boiled in a slowly heated pot of water, the movie plot builds gradually to an outrageously irresponsible thesis: namely, that one-quarter of the world's population has experienced psychosis induced by getting "fisted," and that UFO abduction is the end result of sexual molestation. The political manipulation is so out- of-line as to constitute malfeasance by the producers, director and screen play writer.Yes the acting is superb, well cast, and believable--hence I give the movie 5 stars for technical expertise. But the political agenda in sheep's clothing is the worst of the worst manipulation to push their contention that inappropriate touching & play lead to split personalities. Preposterous!
