Not for the faint of heart. Mysterious Skin is one of the most stark and brutally honest portrayals of child abuse and the differing effects it has on its victims. It's not a fun film, by any stretch, and often painful to watch, but it most clearly portrays, in a graphic visual way, the emotional scars that linger from heinous abuse.
