"...a Cinematic Experience Unlike Any Other." Vulture

Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Colson Whitehead and directed by RaMell Ross (Hale County This Morning, This Evening), Nickel Boys chronicles the powerful friendship between two young African American men navigating the harrowing trials of reform school together in Florida.

1960s Tallahassee. Elwood Curtis is sent to the reformatory Nickel Academy for a crime he didn’t commit.

Present day New York. A revelation about the abuses suffered by the Academy’s students leads Curtis to remember his life-changing friendship with Jack Turner.

Ross’s film is a dazzling achievement – a bold and beguiling exploration of trauma and buried American history.
