Eerie, beautifully shot, strongly acted and successfully emotional, Boys tells the true story of Teena Brandon, a Nebraskan girl who lived as a boy named Brandon Teena. In the desolate wastelands of the plains, her unorthodox lifestyle brought her into conflict with some extremely backwards characters, including a neanderthal sheriff and two hoodlums who befriended and then brutally betrayed her. A difficult film from an emotional perspective, Boys will probably steal an Oscar or two for the dead-on performances of Hilary Swank as Brandon Teena and Chloe Sevigny as her girlfriend Lana Tisdale.
