Mysterious Skin

god bro the best movies make you wanna die. this movie goes over coming of age, rape, teenage prostitution and so many other topics that are so sensitive yet they show this in a way that you don’t even question. i was a little confused within the first about 30 mins of this film because of the different point of views but nonetheless i knew this movie would be amazing. i dont even know how to explain how this movie made me feel. it wasnt the kind of movie i “liked” because it’s so heavy, but i’m really glad i watched it. it made me feel sad, uncomfortable, and just quiet. the way the story slowly comes together is heartbreaking, and it really shows how people can deal with trauma in completely different ways. this is definitely not an easy watch, but i think it’s one of those movies that stays in your head long after it’s over. i’m probably never going to forget it. and if you end up watching it, see you in therapy.
