I just rented this movie from Netflix, on the recommendation of a couple of co-workers. Holy freaking hell, what a movie. There was a thread before, but damned if I can get it right to link it.
If you do a search for Mysterious Skin you can find it.
My first comment is that my co-workers told me there was a rape scene. OK, there was, and then there was another, and another and a few more. I can’t really count the scenes that I would call rape, but it was way more then one.
Next, the UFO. His mother and sister both seem to see the UFO that flies over the house. Why the hostility later when Mom watches the UFO show with Brian? It was like that episode never happened. OK, in this movie, maybe it did not. Please add your thoughts.
Finally, Mom and Neil at the bus station. Did she give him a going away present? It was very creepy, and I’d like to hear other impressions before I tell you what I think.
Again, sorry for the lack of link.
