  • This great film by Anthony Fabian tells this story through the eyes of a happy girl who grows into an outsider.

    Roger Ebert - The Chicago Sun-Times

  • A tragic, enraging, and uplifting tale.

  • Director Anthony Fabian lets the story sell itself, and it does so partly on the strength of the lead performance by Sophie Okonedo.

    Walter Addiego - The San Francisco Chronicle

  • If you didn't know that it was based on a true story, Skin would be a little hard to believe.

    Michael O'Sullivan - The Washington Post

  • The fact that it's actually based on a true story adds an extra layer of poignancy, heightened further by another superb Sophie Okonedo performance.
