Review of Boys Don't Cry (1999) by Jon P — 22 Mar 2013
Shattering, suspenseful and unflinchingly honest, Kimberly Peirce's transgender drama is a powerhouse of brutal sincerity. The film's flawless casting and outstanding performances open a window into a world of wretched intolerance and cruel ignorance, the whole, harrowing nightmare dusted by layers of unease, yet mellowed by a spellbinding soundtrack.
Scalding slice-of-life filmmaking with a heartbreaking turn from Hilary Swank.
