Mysterious SkinA Dark depressing and hard film to watch. Mysterious Skin is a film about a young man who lives as a male prostitute and another that believes he was abducted by aliens. Their connection is revealed about two thirds through the movie. The twist happening possibly too early and with not enough subtlety sort of cheapens the last third, but the reveal is so powerful and really makes the whole movie come together.
A incredibly powerful coming of age tale that tells the story of two interesting yet very different young men. Each of their lives compiled as a series of encounters and connections, they are amazingly drawn out. The movies has some disturbing scenes yet they surprisingly play out more as mystical events than horror scenes. The amazing music really helps with this and sets the tone for the whole movie, it reminds us that despite the increasing darkness there always is a light at the end of the tunnel.
