Critical reception

In a positive review, Popmatters' J.M. Suarez noted: "It may even be misleading to call A Skin, A Night a documentary, as it rejects many of the standard techniques many would expect from such a project. In a similar way to AJ Schnack's Kurt Cobain: About a Son, Moon makes use of cityscapes, landscapes, and still images to paint a unique picture of a band at work, as well as offer a more complete picture of the band."[2]

gollark: How are you defining "capitalism" here?
gollark: > capitalism requires poverty to exist... why?
gollark: Hold on, I think there's a website with nice graphs on this.
gollark: Generally speaking, extreme poverty is going down, worldwide literacy and stuff up, economic growth... is occuring, that sort of thing.
gollark: I mean, ignoring the current pandemic situation.
