FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2002 Jeff Strickler of The Minneapolis Star Tribune gives "Skins," the new movie from Chris Eyre, three stars out of four, calling it a "real" movie about "real" people who just happen to be Indian. "The characters are clichéd, and director Chris Eyre allows the narrative to move in fits and starts, often detouring to make statements about the social and economic problems battering the reservation," he writes. "Still, he establishes an emotional connection that more than compensates for the interruptions." Eyre shot the film on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, his wife's home. Of Cheyenne and Arapaho descent, Eyre was raised by a white family. "Skins" stars Graham Green as an alcoholic brother to Eric Schweig's reservation cop. Get the Story:
