It's a haunting indictment of a situation that has by and large been swept under the rug by Americans -- a stirring look at one man's impotent rage.
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News

To see this movie is to understand why the faces on Mount Rushmore are so painful and galling to the first Americans.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Although mainstream American movies tend to exploit the familiar, every once in a while a film arrives from the margin that gives viewers a chance to learn, to grow, to travel.

What makes Skins compelling is how it opens our eyes to conditions on the reservation.
