We welcome back Bilge Ebiri (Vulture / New York Magazine) to discuss RaMell Ross’s 2024 film, Nickel Boys! We talk about the film’s formal stylistic innovations, its focus on interstitial moments, its exploration of different responses to injustice, how it invites us to integrate our own memories and experiences with its narrative, and more!
There’s four ways out of Nickel. Serve your time -or age out-. Court might intervene -if you believe in miracles-. You could die -they could kill you-. You could run. Only four ways out of Nickel.
