“Within each frame of NICKEL BOYS is not only the recreation of a moment—its stiff air, stifling aroma, and hardened touch—but the texture of the disposed.” – Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
“The commitment to this way of storytelling imbues NICKEL BOYS with an overwhelming intimacy and becomes another way that Ross, as a filmmaker, stretches what it means to represent Black people.” – Lovia Gyarkye, Hollywood Reporter
