Critics consensus

“Skin could stand to go a bit deeper below its surface, but a worthy story and a committed performance from Jamie Bell make this timely drama well worth a watch.”

Bell is magnetic in the role, and there's real chemistry between him and Macdonald, but the film's formal glossiness and frequent overhead shots create distance between the viewer and the hate crimes on display.

This film's saved by the Bell. But only just.

RTThe Times (UK)Sep 28, 2019

The actor does his best with a threadbare character.

Watching his journey from figure of oppression to family man is made all the more gripping with Bell and Macdonald’s chemistry, and two refreshingly disgusting turns from Bill Camp and Vera Farmiga.
