Let’s watch “NICKEL BOYS” (4/4 stars RogerEbert) @ Landmark + dinner, drinks

EXACT SHOWTIME TBA. Nickel Boys Is a cinematic experience unlike any other. In finding a new way to adapt Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel Nickel Boys, director RaMell Ross changes the way we perceive the world itself. It tells a boldly conceived story of two Black kids named Elwood and Turner, living during the height of segregation in Florida. Elwood (Ethan Herisse) is a smart, idealistic kid who is wrongly shuttled off to the abusive confines of a reformatory school named Nickel Academy. Turner (Brandon Wilson) is the bright friend he makes in the dark passages of those days. "Nickel Boys" pulls viewers into the perspective of these Black teenagers with impressive style and unflinching confidence.

MORE INFO ASAP.
After the show we’ll go to Duke of Perth for dinner, drinks, and discussion.
