Adapted from Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, NICKEL BOYS introduces us to Elwood Curtis during the 1960s, Tallahassee, whose dreams of college are shattered when he’s sent to Nickel Academy, a reform school in the Jim Crow South for a crime he didn’t commit. Ross’s film is a dazzling achievement – a bold and beguiling exploration of trauma and buried American history.

Directed by RaMell Ross and starring Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor

"There are outstanding performances here from Ellis-Taylor, Herisse and Wilson, and Jomo Fray’s cinematography and Nora Mendis’s production design are exceptional too. This is a survivor’s coming of age: tough, disillusioned, brilliant." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

The two women form an unexpected bond, until a sudden discovery changes everything.

Based on a chilling true story, The Girl with the Needle presents a masterful gothic vision with profound contemporary resonance.
