A dark-skinned girl born to white South African parents attempts to explore her identity in the era of apartheid as her government, her parents, and society as a whole struggle with what it means to be a black child of Caucasian descent in a nation deeply divided by race. The year is 1955. Sandra Laing (Sophie Okonedo) has just been born to a pair of white Afrikaner parents, her brown skin and curly hair the surprising result of genetic throwback. As the government's rigid apartheid system struggles with whether to classify Sandra as white or black, the young girl and her parents gradually realize that the complications they face due to her appearance run deep and wide. Sandra lives in a society where the color of your skin determines the outcome of your life, and though she is eventually granted admission to an all-white school, she suffers endless torment from her intolerant classmates. Her father, Abraham (Sam Neill), is having a particularly difficult time accepting his daughter. Despite the fact that tests indicate he is her biological father, the neighbors constantly whisper behind their backs. And while Sandra's mother (Alice Krige) does her best to provide her daughter with understanding and emotional support, those consolations come at a high price for both mother and daughter. Her parents believe it's their daughter's birthright that she live as a white woman, though only after she grows up and falls in love with a black man will the conflicted Sandra finally find the strength to embrace her true identity as an African woman. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Skin
New Review For Movie Skin
Laing's life, despite its inherent melodrama, does not automatically lend itself to the screen. And without the aid of a smart script or a prevailing sense of delicacy, a movie about her or apartheid risks being a blunt instrument.Wesley Morris-Boston Globe
Provocative.
Andrea Gronvall-Chicago Reader
Potent, still relevant and inspiring while maddening, Skin shows some of our best and much of our worst.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Every emotion is underscored with sugary music, every narrative plot progression telegraphed with the mechanical structural stiffness of a made-for-TV movie.
Rex Reed-New York Observer
It feels hurried, looks cheap, and works overtime to simplify a complex, flawed character into a noble, tragic heroine. The film speaks fluent cliché.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
This great film by Anthony Fabian tells this story through the eyes of a happy girl who grows into an outsider.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Intense family drama about race, identity during apartheid.
S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media
The most remarkable elements of the true story of Sandra Laing survive intact, despite a rather unremarkable bigscreen retelling of her life.
Simon Foster-sbs.com.au
While it's important we never forget the horrendous evils of humanities past, Skin is sadly one social studies class too many.
Giles Hardie-smh.com.au
Something akin to a Sunday afternoon TV movie of the week.
Andreas Heinemann-Flicks.co.nz
The storytelling maybe undistinguished but the performances power it.
Julie Rigg-MovieTime, ABC Radio National
Performances are impeccable, and location shooting in South Africa adds to the power of an impressive true story.
David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia)
While conventionally told, this thought-provoking film features deeply moving performances and compels audiences to consider the issues it raises.
Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia)
An extraordinary story, one that only real life could invent... You won't forget this film in a hurry
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
A haunting film that tells its unforgettable tale about a coloured girl, born to white parents in South Africa, with simplicity and heartfelt sentiment
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
Based on a true story, Skin follows the life of a black-skinned girl born to white Afrikaners in a society where segregation is stronger than family.
Annlee Ellingson-Moving Pictures Magazine
From an increasingly vibrant cinema about South Africa.
Lance Gould-Boston Phoenix
Once the absurdity of the situation has been accepted, the film plays out like a made for television docu drama, with Sandra constantly challenged and overcoming...
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
Great performances and a smart decision to avoid melodrama make Skin worth seeing but it's the small things that hold it back from being truly great.
Brian Tallerico-Movie Retriever
Given the subject matter, I wish there were more outrage and passion in Skin, which plods from one huge event to another.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
