Review: 'Skins' is about 'defeated culture'

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post reviews "Skins," director Chris Eyre's latest film, and calls it an accurate picture of the ills "that haunt any defeated culture."

"Skins" tells the story of two brothers whose lives seem rather different. Rudy (Eric Schweig) is a police officer while Mogie (Graham Greene) is an alcoholic veteran.

"They love, they hate -- themselves, their tribe, their country (if it's theirs, and they seem not to believe that). The movie, directed by Chris Eyre, doesn't have much dramatic drive, but it's got a lot of compressed fury," Hunter writes.
