“A stunning achievement” —New York Times

Directed by RaMell Ross, Nickel Boys tells the harrowing story of two boys, Elwood and Turner, who are sent to a reform school in Florida during the 1960s. The Nickel Academy is supposed to be a place where troubled youths can be rehabilitated, but instead, it is a place of abuse and corruption, where the boys can only lean on each other to survive. The film’s stylistic gambit is shooting the entire film from the first-person perspective of the boys; the viewer sees the film as if looking through the boys’ eyes. 

Nickel Boys is one of the most acclaimed films of the past year, earning Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.
