This tremendously powerful portrait of the life and death of Brandon Teena was one of the best films of 1999, and is, in our humble opinion: one of the best films of all time. A true story about hope, fear and the courage it takes to be yourself.
Hilary Swank won her first Oscar® for Best Actress in this riveting film directed by Kimberly Peirce, and also starring Chloe Sevigny (If These Walls Could Talk 2) in a terrific performance as Brandon’s girlfriend.
Recognized as a queer film that both embodies and transcends the label, Boys Don’t Cry should be required viewing for all — LGBT, etc.
