'The Brutalist' and 'Nickel Boys' are 2 ambitious and captivating dramas
Briefly

"Nickel Boys is simply one of the most thrillingly inventive literary adaptations I've seen in years, based on Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer-winning novel about two Black boys in 1960s Florida."
"Elwood, an idealist deeply inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., believes he can escape Nickel through legal channels, supported by his loving grandmother played by Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor."
"RaMell Ross' filmmaking maintains a poetic quality, boldly using a first-person visual approach that lets audiences see the world through the eyes of Elwood or Turner."
"The story of Nickel Boys is based on real-life events at Florida's Dozier School for Boys, notorious for the abuse and mistreatment of its students over a century."
