Synopsis
Based on Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Nickel Boys tells the story of Elwood, a black teen sent to the Nickel Academy (based on a notorious real-life institution) where he befriends Turner and together 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.

Critics
For all its heartbreak, for all its pain, "Nickel Boys" is a staggeringly beautiful film. You don't simply watch it; you experience it. This is a major work of art, and we are lucky to have it.
