There’s a compelling legacy attached to such an unusual subject matter, and the discussions brought up are engaging.

One of 2020's 20 best films.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 15, 2021

I'm just glad they acknowledged that movies were being made before 1975.

At two hours, Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies is everything you always wanted to know about sex in the movies but were afraid to ask.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 29, 2021

Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies is a comprehensive and enjoyable examination of a phenomenon...

| Oct 19, 2020

Straightforward timeline of how on-screen nudity progressed.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2020

Looking back on the cinematic sexy-wars of the last century from the promised land of total pornography we inhabit today must be a little puzzling for young cinephiles.

| Sep 11, 2020

In closing, one must applaud the filmmakers for their wisdom in including the single most important full frontal romp committed to film in the past 20 years: Ken Davitian's nude wrestling match with Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2020

Here director Danny Wolf delves into the world of nudity in films. Where it began to where it is today.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 30, 2020

It's not erotic, it's academic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 28, 2020

It's an eye-popping, eye-opening trip through cinema, digging into important themes even as it's uneven regarding both gender and history.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 27, 2020

[Wolf's] 'Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies' is much shorter [than 'Time Warp'], and covers much more ground, and thus it feels a bit rushed in spots, and a bit thin overall. Even so, I still learned quite a bit...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 27, 2020

It feels like there are at least three or four different documentaries going on here at once, and a couple of them are quite good.

| Aug 26, 2020

Whether nudity is a form of empowerment or embarrassment, the documentary allows the viewer to decide for themselves.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 25, 2020

Doesn't just showcase nakedness on screen, but compellingly explains its political, social, and artistic significance over decades.

| Aug 21, 2020

The problem with keeping such material breezy is that it runs the risk of perpetuating the very exploitation it suggests.

| Aug 21, 2020

As a cinematic study, this documentary is more than skin deep.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 20, 2020

Skin is slickly made and has a few moments of insight, but even though it is a documentary, there is little risk that you will come away from it having learned anything of value.

| Aug 20, 2020

This despicable doc leers far more than it reveals.

| Aug 20, 2020

While "Skin" doesn't do any formally daring loops, at two hours and 10 minutes, it's a consistently engaging record with colorful input from each of the interview subjects, well-edited and with plenty of titillating footage.

| Original Score: B | Aug 19, 2020
