Nickel Boys
Movie • 2024
ReportProducers of MGM and Plan B are teaming up with director RaMell Ross for a film depiction of Colson Whitehead’s 2019 novel, based on real-life events which have only recently come to light. The narrative bounces between the 2010s and the 1960s as an investigation takes place surrounding the now-defunct Dozier School for Boys in Florida. The academy’s walls hide a history of atrocities, including events that led to bodies being buried on the premises.
This movie contains 7 potentially triggering events.

Kids are taken to a room to be beaten. Sounds of violence and anguish are heard, but the beatings are not directly shown.

There is a close up of a spider web, but it doesn't show any spiders. There is one quick shot of what looks like a for caught in it.

A scene of a group of boys being given only 2 or so minutes to shower. The scene shows only the shoulders and up, and is meant to demonstrate the dehumanization of carcel systems.
