About us
Dir. RaMell Ross, US, 2024, 140 mins. Cast. Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Hamish Linklater, Fred Hechinger, Daveed Diggs.
This is an audacious and profoundly moving tale of a mid-century reform school. Adapting Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Nickel Boys focuses on the story of Elwood, a black teen sent to the Nickel Academy (based on a notorious real-life institution). Despite the school's cruelty, he makes a connection with Turner as they find a way to squirrel hope against the odds. As the former students reconnect later in life, we are witnesses not only to the scars left by their youth, but also the healing power of human connection.
Reminiscent of the granular attention lavished by Barry Jenkins on his protagonists in Moonlight, Nickel Boys is a sophisticated take on topics too easy to gloss with cliché.
