Review of “Nickel Boys”: An Impressive Account of Abuse

Ross's decision to tell a large portion of the story in the first person is a daring one. Nickel Boys Lookmovie begins with a character lying on the grass, staring at his hand, then at oranges on a nearby tree. Elwood's face is hidden for a while, only showing up in glances or reflections. This viewpoint seemed difficult at first, but as the movie went on, Ross's idea became clear and the distinctive point of view became essential to the power of the narrative. Ross's usage of this style feels completely warranted, even though I hope it doesn't become popular.
