Nickel Boys film review finds first person lens haunting

Lindsey Bahr praises RaMell Ross for a powerful adaptation of Colson Whitehead's novel. The film, based on Dozier School abuses in Florida, uses a camera as eyes to follow Elwood and Turner through brutality. It blends memory and resilience with restrained, non-graphic depiction and strong performances.

Nickel Boys follows new visual language in cinema

Photographer and filmmaker RaMell Ross adapts Colson Whitehead to tell Nickel Boys from the eyes of Elwood and Turner. The film, shot as a first person portrait of Black youth under Jim Crow at Nickel Academy in Florida, uses “sentient perspective” to immerse viewers in a body and challenge old cinematic norms.
