My Brother Tom (2001)

After separate incidences of abuse and attack, Jessica and Tom, find solace in each other. Together, they shut out the outside world, building a reality only they can navigate. Jessica, a teenage girl, abused by her neighbor and school teacher, Jack, beat-up by a local gang and equally abused by his own father. The two form an unbreakable bond one evening in the woods.

Ben Whishaw, proving his character has nothing left to lose, bares all throughout the movie. From several lanky, but buttery-bun shots to, brief cameos of his own dangling pinecones, the British actor proves the old adage: you can’t make out the forest for all the wood you’ll bare.
