Hull Independent Cinema presents... Dir RaMell Ross | USA | 2024 | 140 mins | Rated 12A | English "This is a survivor’s coming of age: tough, disillusioned, brilliant." ★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
NICKEL BOYS
Florida at the height of segregation, and two Black kids, Elwood and Turner meet at reform school Nickel Academy. Elwood has been sent there simply because the stranger he hitched a ride to school with had stolen the car. Previously optimistic about the Civil Rights movement and the prospects for Black people, Elwood is shattered by the experience, and would likely not survive Nickel Academy were it not for the friendship he strikes up with Turner, as the pair of them navigate Nickel’s abusive confines together in this stirring adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
Starring Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor
AWARDS AND FESTIVALS
"...sidles up to the narrative’s wrenching twists rather than heavily foreshadowing them, and is all the more gutting for it." ★★★★ Tim Robey, The Daily Telegraph
"Phenomenal performances form Brandon Wilson, Ethan Herisse and the incomparable Aunjanue Eliis-Taylor." Carla Renata, TheWrap
"As major and memorable an achievement as any American film this decade." David Ehrlich, indieWire
ACCESSIBILITY
Subtitles
This film will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles. In addition to reproducing dialogue, these subtitles include additional non-dialogue sounds available to a hearing audience, e.g. "(sighs)" or "(door creaks)" and song lyrics. In our experience, guests do not find the subtitles distracting, especially as the majority of our films are subtitled foreign language films.
Hull Independent Cinema is working towards making our films more accessible. We have decided to present all our films with Descriptive Subtitles where available.
AGE RATING
NICKEL BOYS is rated 12A. Under 12s must be accompanied by an adult. For more information, please see the film's page on the BBFC website.
Programme Details
The venue is open all day, so why not come along early to grab a drink and a snack? The programme run time includes an allowance for introductions and up to three trailers. While we will endeavour to accommodate latecomers, this may not always be possible. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse entry, without a refund, to anyone arriving after the advertised start time.
Please note the pedestrian entrance to Princes Quay is either via the Quayside entrance (next to Nandos) or via the footpath from Waterhouse Lane / Bonus Arena. Both entrances off Carr Lane are closed after 6pm. The car park entrance remains unaffected.
