A brief but haunting musical legacy is paid fittingly brief, lyrical tribute in veteran Dutch documentarian Jeroen Berkven's featurette A Skin Too Few.

Dennis Harvey, Variety

A short (48 minutes) and sweet tribute to the British folk singer.

A tender tribute to Nick Drake, the English singer-songwriter who died in 1974.

Less life story than luxuriant mood bath.

It's a haunting portrait of a young man who, while genuinely gifted and loved by friends and family, couldn't cope with the world.
