Nickel Boys

Elwood is sent to a Florida reform school that runs on work and lies, and he meets Turner, who has already learned the grounds. Ross shoots much of the film from their eyes, so the audience is not watching the boys from a safe seat. Ethan Herisse and Brandon Wilson carry that point of view. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is the grandmother who still believes the school can be appealed. The Amazon MGM trailer is short and close. The film is adapted from Colson Whitehead’s novel and does not look away from the yard.
