Full Plot Details

A study, mostly chronological, of the life of Nick Drake (1948-1974). Gabrielle, his older sister, tells us of her brother's birth in Burma, childhood in Warwickshire, life at Cambridge and in London, then back to his parents' home in Tanworth. His parents describe his habits and personality. Two friends and the producer, arranger, sound engineer, and photographer for his three albums comment. His mother, a musician and poet, is an early influence. His quiet folk style made his one tour a disaster. His lack of success and gradual withdrawal end with his death at 26. Eleven of his recordings play on the soundtrack, usually as we see his room, a city, or the Warwickshire countryside.

Movie Reviews

Orlando Weekly - 9/10 by Cameron MeierDespite being a bit flat at times and not taking us through all the highs and lows Drake experienced, the film succeeds by bringing us close to its subject, leaving us wanting more and not being afraid to be subtle.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Dennis LimSkin is less life story than luxuriant mood bath.
Variety - 7/10 by Dennis HarveyBeautifully evokes the enduring appeal of English singer-songwriter Nick Drake.
New York Post - 6/10 by V.A. MusettoMore popular today than during his lifetime (his music even made it into a Volkswagen commercial), Drake once complained, "Everybody tells me I'm great, but I'm broke. Why?"
New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenA cinematic tone poem as much as a biography.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric LA documentary about the short Nick Drake's life. You'll be touched by this story. My all time dream is to write a feature movie about Nick Drake.
User Review - 10/10 by David AI've been meaning to check out Nick Drakes music, and after watching this short but wonderful documentary about him, I now plan on it.
User Review - 8/10 by Tom HEssential for fans, only mildly interesting for all others. You must get the album "Five Leaves Left."
User Review - 8/10 by Berk MI thought that this was really well made, his life laid out really clearly, split into sections. It felt really personal because of all the interviews with the people closest to him, describing what he was like, and the fact that it showed his house etc. The wide shots of landscapes scattered throughout the movie with Nick's songs over them are also a nice touch. I suppose a big part of how much I like biopics will be how much it manages to teach me about the person and this one scores highly on that as well. I can't really give this a 5 as it is a 'classic' documentary but it's definitely essential for fans and quite interesting for people who want to learn more about Nick Drake.
User Review - 8/10 by Gary KDrake is one of music's more enigmatic figures. Incredibly talented and deeply troubled, Drake left just three albums before his death at age 26. "A Skin Too Few..." is as much a showcase for Drake's music as it is a documentary of his short life. While most Americans came to know Drake through VW's use of "Pink Moon" in a commercial, his work is finally getting the widespread recognition and status it deserves. "A Skin Too Few..." is an interesting journey for even casual fans.
