Arguably the film that has gotten the most awards attention this season is Nickel Boys. It has been on my to-do list for a while because the incredible Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is in it and I am still incredibly bitter about her getting snubbed for Origin last year. Also with her in it you know that it is going to not only be a good film, but an important one. So with awards season looming it was long past time to watch Nickel Boys.

God this was easily one of the emotionally impactful films of the year. The narrative is about as tangible and visceral as it gets. The camera work is phenomenal and the immersion of the story is next level. The acting was so incredible. Seriously some of the best work I have seen in the last couple of years. It’s a flawless film, but I do factor in rewatchability and it is intentionally a little hard to watch sometimes so for that it gets a 9/10. But it is absolutely worth the watch and it deserves all of the awards that are about to come it’s way. If you loved it and want more in the same vein, I will never stop recommending Origin. It was my favorite film of last year.
