Joelle Garguilo has more on the new film ' Nickel Boys .'There are some stories that stay with viewers long after the credits roll. " Nickel Boys " is one of them.
But we don't just watch these characters' journey - we experience it through their perspective, meaning the camera acts as their eyes."After reading the book, POV is the first thing that came to mind because of Elwood and Turner, me seeing myself as them, them being young Black men," Ross said.
"I was so pulled into the world, so immersed in it, that when the credits rolled and I saw my name and I saw Brandon's name, I started crying, because I was like, 'oh, that was us.' Like, overwhelming feeling of pride and joy that we were a part of something as beautiful as this," said actor Ethan Herisse.
