Nickel Boys - Reviews

...an artistically daring masterpiece.

...the polar opposite of what we call “comfort viewing” — but it is a film that deserves to be seen once by the largest possible audience. This is story that should be remembered...

Think Peep Show, but as a serious and urgent drama.

...brutal segregation story chooses art over violence.

...an immersive visual experience unlike any other.

...finds an expressive power in formally adventurous technique that fashions mesmerizing, cumulatively affecting poetry out of Whitehead’s prose.

RaMell Ross ventures into fiction without sacrificing his poetic ambition.

...a staggeringly beautiful story of resilience.

...2024’s most harrowing and transcendent film.

...an exceptional film driven by captivating performances.

...är en oerhörd prestation.
