"Nickel Boys" is praised for its gripping story and unique storytelling, with impressive visuals and compelling characters. However, some found it a bit tedious at times. Overall, it left viewers feeling emotionally impacted.
This movie is the most amazing thing I’ve seen this year from the shots to the characters and the story. I left the theater feeling so raw.
If you read the book and enjoyed it then do yourself a favor and skip the movie. The movie is awful.
🏆 10/10
