It's a haunting portrait of a young man who, while genuinely gifted and loved by friends and family, couldn't cope with the world.

A mostly chronological study of the life of musician Nick Drake. Gabrielle, his older sister, tells us of her brother's birth in Burma and his childhood in Warwickshire, friends and colleagues give an insight into his inner workings, and his mother, a musician and poet, is shown to be an early influence.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
Beautifully evokes the enduring appeal of English singer-songwriter Nick Drake.
Skin is less life story than luxuriant mood bath.
It's a lovely tribute to an extraordinary talent whose music might have been forgotten, and you really couldn't ask for a more beautiful soundtrack.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
A cinematic tone poem as much as a biography.
More 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?"
