87. Skin (2019) Film Review

On the 87th A24 film review for A24 on the Rocks, these film reviewers tackle the 2019 doozy of a movie "Skin" starring Jamie Bell and Danielle Macdonald. Skin is loosely based on the true story of Bryon Widner, a neo-nazi who was part of the white supremacist gang called the Vinlanders Social Club. After getting arrested for a horrific act of violence, Bryon meets a woman named Julie who brings her three kids to a Vinlanders Social Club gathering to perform folk music. Bryon falls in love with Julie and (maybe?) finds his conscience, but quickly realizes it isn't so easy to leave the neo-nazi gang that raised him. The A24 Rocks crew discusses the heavy themes of Skin, the short film it's based off of, and if director Guy Nattiv did a good job adapting his short movie into a feature length film. Caution: movie spoilers.
