Jordan Ruimy: “You shouldn’t skip Nickel Boys! It’s going to be the talk of Telluride. I can almost guarantee that.”
HE: “Why? I don’t get it. Those poor reform-school lads had a miserable time at the hands of racist bastards. So?”
Ruimy: “I understand your reservations, but I’ve just heard too many great things about it. Watch it just to stay on the beat when the rave reviews drop.”
HE: “Jesus, you’re killing me.”
Ruimy: “Hah.”
Julie Huntsinger quote: Nickel Boys “is such a towering achievement. I couldn’t believe it. My jaw dropped to the floor. You almost can’t speak after because it’s cinematically engaging, arresting. It is emotionally rewarding. It should be one of the most talked about films of the whole year.”
