A haunting, timely, must-see movie for Americans
Inspired by the real-life Dozier School for Boys, Nickel Boys is a moving and haunting story of how an abusive reform school derails a promising young man's life. While the premise is already searing enough, Nickel Boys adds another level of emotion and intimacy by shooting from a first-person POV. It's an experimental and immersive way to allow the audience to experience the story. Ultimately, Nickel Boys is an especially timely and immersive rendering of history in today's political climate that everyone should watch, especially those willing to try walking in someone else's shoes for the movie's duration.
