Review of The Next Skin

The story reminded me in parts at the true yet utterly bizarre case of Nicholas Barclay. He disappeared in the early 90s in Texas. The 13 year old boy went out for a basketball game and vanished into thin air. Presumingly been murdered...Only to be found a few years later in Spain. Looking, talking, behaving completely different ... but despite glaring differences some bought into their finally found son, N. B. Wanted to believe at all costs...However the jaw dropping moment came soon - Frederic Bourdin pretended to be the lost son four quite some time - until he confessed... Our story here in The next skin is not as half as twisted as reality but surely has it moments. Esp towards the last third it picks up steam, uneasiness and dramatic moments. I somewhat liked the movie(s story) despite its flaws... esp the gross hunting scenes I found particularly misplaced and annoying. Still, it might have helped to deepen the gritty, moody and overall real and sad atmosphere.
