Critic Reviews of "Boys Don't Cry"
TIME MagazineJanuary 01, 2000The movie lets down the material. It's too cool: all attitude, no sizzle--horror under glass.
New York Magazine/VultureJanuary 01, 2000The film is framed, too unquestioningly, as a transgender Rebel Without a Cause, with Brandon the martyred innocent who dies for her infatuations.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Driven by performances of such luminous humanity that they break your heart.
Film.comJanuary 01, 2000Swank is impressive in the lead role.
Film.comJanuary 01, 2000With its constant juxtaposition of blazing nighttime highwayscapes and the flat Nebraska skyline, Boys Don't Cry manages to perfectly evoke both a life spent in aimless forward motion and the stifling boredom Brandon was so desperate to escape.
ColeSmithey.comMay 28, 2012[VIDEO ESSAY] Kimberly Pierce's remarkable 1999 filmic version of Brandon Teena's last days is a scalding indictment of the kind of consciously ignorant intolerance that runs disgracefully through America's Heartland and Southern states.
EmanuelLevy.ComJuly 09, 2011Time has made Kimberly Peirce's dramatic debut about sexual misfit, stunningly played by Hilary Swank, even more relevant and powerful.
Reel Film ReviewsOctober 18, 2008...undoubtedly benefits from Swank's searing, justifiably lauded performance.
TheMovieReport.comOctober 21, 2007The shock is not in the tragic ending, but the devastating emotional effect Kimberly Peirce is able to achieve through mere nuance.
