Nickel Boys

Friday 31 January - Tuesday 04 February 2025

Cinema

The Nickel Boys is based on the historic reform school in 1960s Florida called the Dozier School for Boys, which was notorious for abusive treatment of students.

It explores the story of Elwood Curtis, a young African-American boy who is sent to the Nickel Academy, a fictional version of the Dozier School, after he is falsely accused of a crime.

While there, he meets a boy named Turner, and the two form a close friendship as they try to survive the horrors of the school and its corrupt administrators in Nickel Boys.

‘This isn’t a film that holds your hand. Shot mostly by switching point of views between Turner and Elwood, Ross and his stellar DP Jomo Fray teach the viewer how to see and feel the world through Black eyes. ‘ – RogerEbert ★★★★
