Matt Roush says...
Nominated for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay Oscars, director-cowriter RaMell Ross‘s acclaimed version of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel makes its streaming debut. Ross employs a riveting first-person POV perspective to tell the wrenching story of two Black teens (Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson) who bond while trying to survive brutal conditions at a reform school in Florida during the Jim Crow 1960s.
