Boys Don't Cry (1999)

Based on a true story, the film denounces homophobia and intolerance in the American heartland. The story is tough, uncompromising, though somewhat superficial, to the detriment of greater psychological depth to the characters, something emphasized in its final form shown too gimmicky.

The most valued and possibly the best, the good performance of its performers, featuring Choe Sevigny and, above all, the main protagonist, Hillary Swank.

The effect is that of a champagne bottle once opened. To have a great script in hand, the film, but it looks good, it loses strength to finish in the lament of what might have been and stayed on the road...
