Why watch this film?
Nickel Boys follows two Black teens who are wards of a juvenile reformatory. Their profound friendship offers transformation and awakens hope.
"Nickel Boys is a must-see film on Prime Video that competed for the 2025 Oscar, nominated for Best Film and Best Adapted Screenplay. Based on the Pulitzer-winning novel by Colson Whitehead, the film delivers a powerful and moving story about friendship and resilience amid the brutality of a Florida reformatory. The relationship between the two protagonists is emotional, while the brilliant script builds an impactful portrait of injustice and institutionalized racism. With outstanding performances and sensitive direction, Nickel Boys is an unmissable drama that leaves a deep reflection on belonging, racism and friendship."
