He hangs out with the guys, drinking, cussing, and bumper surfing, and he charms the young women, who've never met a more sensitive and considerate young man. Life is good for Brandon, now that he's one of the guys and dating hometown beauty Lana; however, he's forgotten to mention one important detail. It's not that he's wanted in another town for GTA and other assorted crimes, but that Brandon Teena was actually born a woman named Teena Brandon. When his best friends make this discovery, Brandon's life is ripped apart.
Leave your thoughts about Boys Don't Cry.
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanFor a movie that ends in the profoundest depths of sadness, Boys Don't Cry contains one of the year's purest moments of joy. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroA stirring, emotionally true testament to foolish bravery as well as shameful evidence of the severity with which it is so often punished. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt's Swank, however, who's the revelation. By the end, her Brandon/Teena is beyond male or female. It's as if we were simply glimpsing the character's soul, in all its yearning and conflicted beauty. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAn amazing work, a film that seems to gurgle up from the American heartland, resonant and fully formed, ripe with possibilities. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranAn exceptional--and exceptionally disturbing--film from a first-time director and writer (with Andy Bienen) named Kimberly Pierce. Unflinching, uncompromising, made with complete conviction and rare skill. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackThere may not be a better- acted film this year. |
| Boston GlobeJay Carr"In Cold Blood," "Badlands," "The Executioner's Song," and now, joining those grisly milestones on the heartland hit list, and every bit their equal, is Boys Don't Cry. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaA powerful, deeply moving tale, immeasurably facilitated by the performance of relatively unknown Hilary Swank as Brandon...smartly shot and edited, and the performances are dead-on. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenPeirce's taut, sure-footed first film sidesteps sensationalism without sacrificing any of the story's wonder and horror |
| Washington PostStephen HunterThe longest, hardest sit of the season -- you are stuck there, a single tube of puckered muscle, waiting for the extremely ugly violence to occur -- but it is driven by performances of such luminous humanity that they break your heart. |
