Film Screening:NICKEL BOYS

– Nominated for Best Picture at the 97th Academy Awards
“[A] stunning achievement.” – Manohla Dargis
“It’s clear-eyed and quietly urgent storytelling in every useful way, unconventionally imaginative in the unspooling.” – Chicago Tribune
“Ross inventively remixes iconography and history to come up with something so distinct it's (almost) ineffable. In doing so, he manages to remarkably chip away at, if not fully erase, the inherent temporal divide between his subjects and the viewer.” – NPR
