The prostitute's story is about a disturbing homosexual encounter with his pedophile baseball coach, and the other teen's story revolves around an amnesia blackout during which he thinks he may have been abducted by aliens.

Leave your thoughts about Mysterious Skin.
| New York TimesA.O. ScottMysterious Skin is infused with remarkable tenderness and beauty. |
| Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)Randy ShulmanIt's not enough to call Mysterious Skin one of the best films of the year. It is one of the best gay-themed movies ever made. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThis thoughtful, troubling drama is leagues above the sensationalistic stuff Araki peddled in earlier films. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonAn absorbing story. Even though it takes you to places you may not want to go, the film never loses its human touch--that feel of skin on skin or of the past inescapably invading the present. |
| Filmcritic.comBlake Frenchpushes the audience out of their comfort zones without being pushy or manipulative, and journeys into a world that only the bravest of filmmakers dare to explore |
| Reel.comTimothy KnightThis beautifully made and haunting film is ultimately explicit without being exploitative. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonAraki has put a protective, shimmering patina on a story of abuse and emotional dissonance and the result is an otherworldly, painfully honest movie. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensA gorgeous, heartbreaking and utterly convincing work of art. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe film's content is adult – and for the first time in Araki's career, so is the director. |
| New York PostLou LumenickNot for the squeamish, but it is a beautifully crafted and thoughtful film that genuinely provokes. |
