Review of Skin

I had never heard this true story before and wont go into what others on here have said about the story, but this is a well made movie. Sophie Okonedo acts well although she does not look much like the real Sandra Laing and in fact was too old to play her in her teens. Then again neither does Sam Neil look like the real Dad. However the acting is all very convincing especially the young actress playing Sandra in her early years. But none of this matters as much as this story needing to be told. The story shows how idiotic prejudices are based on color in particular.
