Nickel Boys (dir. RaMell Ross).

[It’s] a striking-made, artful tragedy of total devastation rooted in America’s shockingly recent sins of the past. It’s a viscerally gut-wrrenching portrait of resilience and friendship in the face of senseless punishment with no hope or any oversight. There are few films more poignantly tragic in its beauty than Ross’ impressive work here. It’s a challenging and harrowingly distancing film that stays with you beyond in its off-putting form.
