External critics' reviews
Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Vera has created a provocative, absorbing drama that reveals the curse of a self-hatred instilled by rigid social mores. more
Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
It goes beyond sympathy and authenticity to insight as it examines the plight of a man who loves a man but feels he must love a woman. more
Chicago Tribune Patrick Z. McGavin
The gay sex in Second Skin is vividly displayed and erotically charged, while the heterosexual material is presented discreetly. more
Variety Jonathan Holland
Starts out slow but ends up engaging both heart and mind, despite occasional slips into straight melodrama. more
New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
So sudsy it should have been rinsed off before being allowed into theaters. more
New Times (L.A.) David Ehrenstein
Vera's technical prowess ends up selling his film short; he smoothes over hard truths even as he uncovers them. more
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Despite some strong performances, never rises above the level of a telanovela. more
Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
After two hours of Vera's pretty but wet-blanket direction, it's too late to ignite any fireworks, even in the hands of such capable actors. more
L.A. Weekly Ernest Hardy
Lukewarm melodrama disappoints. more
The New York Times Dana Stevens
The movie is quiet, modest and sympathetic almost to a fault; its scenes of emotional discord, accompanied by a swooning, sniffling score, seem best suited to cable television. It's like a Lifetime movie about men. more
