★★★★½ (5 stars for the transfer, 4 for the film’s unshakeable emotional weight)

The Mysterious Skin 4K is not just a disc. It is a time capsule cracked open, a dream made sharp, and a reminder that even our ugliest memories deserve to be seen clearly. Because only when we see them clearly can we finally start to heal. Available now via Vinegar Syndrome / Strand Releasing. Equipment used for review: LG C2 OLED, Panasonic UB820.
