Plot Summary:
|
Peirce's directorial debut tells the gut-wrenching valid story of Teena Brandon, a Midwestern female who disguised herself as a cuff. Relocating to Falls New Zealand urban area, Nebraska, from Lincoln, she managed to sway her newfound heap of friends that she was Brandon Teena. The film treats these events with a painful objectivism, as Brandon's relationships with her friends John, Tom, Kate, Candace, and Lana unfold toward their inevitably horrific conclusion. A shining pattern of independent filmmaking at its most impassioned.

Boys Don't Cry
The tragic true-life invalid history of Teena Brandon, a young girl from Nebraska who disguised herself as a curb and was brutally raped and murdered in 1993, is compassionately brought to the screen not later than newsman/director Kimberly Peirce. Notwithstanding how, while Oscar-winner Hilary Swank gives a remarkable performance as the actor(ine), there's an exploitative sordidness to the enterprise that limits our sympathy. (Brandon's girlfriend Lana, portrayed here close Chloe Sevigny, tried to stop the peel's release.) Not since The Accused has rape been shown so savagely on vet — though this, of progress, is hardly a commendation. Indeed, the ugliness of the film's conclusion is severely at odds with the genuinely touching scenes between Swank and Sevigny t...
Boys Don't Cry
"...Carefully crafted and quite pathetic....Swank is in truth worthy of all the awards..." -- 3 minus of 5 stars
