Reviews

“Ross’ formalist roll of the dice pays off in a huge way, and it’s this choice that makes Nickel Boys not just unique but undeniable. There is simply nothing else like it.”

David Fear
Rolling Stone

“NICKEL BOYS” hearkens back to a time that unfortunately still exists in some areas of America, even today. Phenomenal performances form Brandon Wilson, Ethan Herisse and the incomparable Aunjanue Eliis-Taylor.”

Carla Renata
TheWrap

“As major and memorable an achievement as any American film this decade.”
