Review
Skinning delivers a gritty, unflinching look at how youthful insecurity can be weaponized by extremist groups. The film’s stark cinematography captures Belgrade’s underbelly, and the performances—particularly Nikola Rakočević’s conflicted lead—lend a disturbing authenticity. While the narrative sometimes leans on genre clichés, its raw portrayal of indoctrination and loss of innocence makes it a compelling, if unsettling, drama.
