67% Informative

The immensely evocative Nickel Boys is the film version of Colson Whitehead's second novel.

The film concentrates, by and large, on the Jim Crow era in Florida .

Director RaMell Ross shoots the whole story from a first -person viewpoint.

Film doesn’t need to exaggerate a single aspect of what made these reform schools hell.
