Elvis Mitchell
The New York Times
Stunning...a film much tougher and more transfixing than its wan title. Full Review
Emanuel Levy
Variety
The poignant and candid Boys Don't Cry can be seen as a "Rebel Without a Cause" for these culturally diverse and complex times, with the two misfit girls enacting a version of the James Dean/Natalie Wood romance with utmost conviction. Full Review
Jay Carr
Boston Globe
"In Cold Blood," "Badlands," "The Executioner's Song," and now, joining those grisly milestones on the heartland hit list, and every bit their equal, is Boys Don't Cry. Full Review
Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times
An exceptional--and exceptionally disturbing--film from a first-time director and writer (with Andy Bienen) named Kimberly Pierce. Unflinching, uncompromising, made with complete conviction and rare skill. Full Review
Mike Clark
USA Today
A weeper poised to endure as one of the dominant independent features of the year. Full Review
