      Dennis Harvey Variety A brief but haunting musical legacy is paid fittingly brief, lyrical tribute in veteran Dutch documentarian Jeroen Berkven's featurette A Skin Too Few. May 2, 2008 Full Review Time Out It's an authoritative account of a singular talent. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post A short (48 minutes) and sweet tribute to the British folk singer. Rated: 3/4 May 7, 2004 Full Review Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International May tell a sad story, but it tells it with so much artistry and to such emotional effect that the film is one of those rare works that resonates long after it's over. Aug 8, 2004 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide 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. Rated: 3.5/5 May 7, 2004 Full Review Kent Turner Film-Forward.com [Drake's] music and the picturesque footage of the English countryside dominate the documentary... creating an irresistible pull for Anglophiles. Rated: 3/5 May 7, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Heart soaring just like his music but also very sad Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Poignant short documentary about musician Nick Drake. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member a great introduction to the man for those who are not already fans. side note: his sister is a treat. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member a great introduction to the man for those who are not already fans. side note: his sister is a treat. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Far from the tired old informative A&E Biography fare, this is a breezy, artful documentary about a musician I have one of the strongest emotional connections to. Like the man's music, the film is dark, bleak, intimate, poetic. It's also very elegant, static cinematography tinted with Drake's compositions. Naturally recommended for any fan, but anyone even remotely interested in one of the most important figures in 20th century music should watch it as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Drake is one of music's more enigmatic figures. Incredibly talented and deeply troubled, Drake left just three albums before his death at age 26. "A Skin Too Few..." is as much a showcase for Drake's music as it is a documentary of his short life. While most Americans came to know Drake through VW's use of "Pink Moon" in a commercial, his work is finally getting the widespread recognition and status it deserves. "A Skin Too Few..." is an interesting journey for even casual fans. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
