Skin

Det jobbigaste med filmer baserade på riktiga händelser och människor är att riktiga människor ofta är rätt osympatiska.

Very watchable in places with moving performances but not as brave or in depth as you want it to be.

This quietly intelligent drama...finds a new way of dramatising race, class and society in apartheid-era South Africa, and it boasts fine performances by Sophie Okonedo, Sam Neill and Alice Krige...

This isn't one of those potted stories of uplift and doesn't end quite the way we expect, although we do get to see the real Sandra Laing right at the end.

...articulates the confluence of outside assumptions and familial heritage that impacts one's process of self-definition.
