Boys Don\'t Cry - (Kimberly Peirce;1999;USA)
The story of Teena Brandon, who moved out of her hometown and masqueraded as a man called Brandon Teena.
A very powerful drama that is well directed, and is given that extra boost from it's cast. This is Hilary Swank's best performance, well deserving the Oscar she won. Chloë Sevigny and Peter Sarsgaard are also very good, especially Sevigny, though both are very convincing. The music suits the mood of the film very well, as well as the dark feel to it. The tagline comes across as a cliche drama, but the film proves otherwise.
