This documentary shows the power of photography, standing up to tyranny and being inspired by amazing women. 

It will have you questioning your love of mobster films and wondering why filmmakers are so obsessed with them.

​There is a strangeness to “Knives and Skin” (2019) that makes it difficult to put into words precisely what it’s about and how it made me feel. Jenifer Reeder’s film is eerie, bright but dark, funny but upsetting. It puts you on edge but also has you really feeling for the people on screen.

​If you like films by Peter Strickland or David Lynch you’ll love it. If not, I recommend pushing your cinematic comfort zone.
