On My Skin

About This Movie

On My Skin is a deeply affecting drama that captures the chilling reality of Stefano Cucchi's tragic story. The atmosphere is heavy, suffocating even, as it explores themes of injustice and the fragility of life. The pacing, at times slow, allows the viewer to absorb the gravity of each moment, particularly the scenes depicting Cucchi’s harrowing experiences in custody. The performances stand out, especially that of the actor portraying Cucchi, who embodies vulnerability and despair with such authenticity that it’s hard to look away. The film’s raw approach to its subject matter, combined with understated practical effects, makes it striking in its depiction of a family's agony and the fight for truth amid systemic failures. It's a film that lingers long after the credits roll.
