Just watched MYSTERIOUS SKIN, a film that chronicles the lives of two victims of child sexual abuse. One becomes a promiscuous hustler the other obsessed with alien abduction as a way of dealing with the repressed memories. It's a beautifully shot, haunting and harrowing film that's well worth watching. It deals with issues of sexual abuse in a much more believable and intelligent fashion than 90% of the oscar baiting turds that I've seen over the years.
Fantastic film.
