Nickel Boys

“Nickel Boys” is the story of two black teen agers who are sent to reform school in North Florida during the Jim Crow era. One of them is a good student who is in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets sentenced to the detention facility unjustly. The young men are mistreated and humiliated on a regular basis. The ending has a twist that you will not expect. This is a film that kept me thinking about it long after it was over. There are no stars, but all of the performances are excellent. I highly recommend this film.
