User Reviews for: Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies

Skin was not as good as it could have been.

First of all...it's waaaaay too long...and we all know what the consequence of that is...

It's boring...

But...that it's not all that is wrong with this one...

It tries to tackle away too much and ends up landing on too little information on topics that deserve to be explored in-depth instead of just mentioned for 2 mins. It would have been way better if they made it for just one part of this (like all the censorship) and just explored that further.

...and those guys that were talking about their favorite nude scenes???? Come on!!! That's the kind of things 14-year-old boys talk about when they think no one is listening. Who needs to know that?

...and then you got the guys talking about how the nudity was important for the character development etc. Yeah...they should just admit that you put it in there to stir things up and get your movie talked about AKA make more money.

I did like some aspects though...and no...not "just" all the nudity.

First of all...having the actresses and other women in the industry talk about their experiences and their perspective was refreshing.

Second...the history of all the censorship. Even though it could have been explored even deeper, it was rather interesting to see all the "guardians of morality" trying to impose their views on people just to end up making people want it more. But that is usually what happens when someone tries to censor shit so...

Anyway...if you are interested in the topic, I'm sure you'll find something interesting in this movie. Just don't expect too much.
