Review of The Next Skin

This film is about a problematic young man being reintroduced with his mother. He has amnesia about his past. Is he the real missing child? By the end of the film I couldn't care less. It is a sad film about miserable people living in a hostile environment. Everyone seems to be angry and lonely or bored. The film trudges along to its sad ending without any redeeming feature in its grey colour monotones and linear story to make it more interesting other than its misery. The characters other than the main one are not developed and makes the film boring. Besides there are no likeable characters at all. The acting though is first class throughout especially by the main protagonist.
