There are a surprising amount of "not interested"s on my friends list for this movie, and I can't really figure out why - this is a stirring, and most importantly unique, biopic. Boys Don't Cry is tonally distinct, tempering free-spiritedness and the bliss of love with both the r...( read more)

Very good acting, but it was a really disturbing story. So sad! It made me sick that people would act this way.

Swank, Sevigny and Sarsgaard put in brilliant performances in Peirce's uneasy and powerful film, based on real life events. Recommended!

First rate drama, with an unforgettable and mesmerizing performance from Hilary Swank. Chloe Sevigny is excellent as well. Disturbing, tragic, thought provoking and not easily forgotten. Good style from director Kimberly Peirce. Good score, very well done.

I have heard that this is a great movie. Based on a true story, the movie may be remarkable. The story is interesting, but I couldn't keep watching the very simple movie for 2 hours.

A hard film to watch, an endurance emotionally. Exceptionally well acted and extremely convincing. The movie show how hurtful and tragic ignorance can be. Some of the most emotive scenes you will see in a movie.

Boys Don't Cry belongs to the kind of films that may leave a person traumatized when seen too young. It has very horrific images and a shocking story. Its power to stay in your heart and mind is indescribable, just to be utterly strengthened by one of the best female leading perf...( read more)

July 15, 2007A MOVIE THAT WILL TOUCH YOU TO THE VERY DEPTH OF YOUR SOUL. IT WILL STAY WITH YOU LONG AFTER SEEING IT, WISH I HAD SEEN IT SOONER. PERHAPS THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL PERFORMANCES I THINK I HAVE SEEN HILARY SWANK GIVE, OTHER THAN IN MILLION DOLLAR BABY. HILARY MAKES YOU FEEL HER PAIN, TORMENT, DESIRES AS SHE PORTRAYS "BRANDON" WHO STRUGGLES TO BE LOVED, UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPTED AS A YOUNG MAN TRAPPED INSIDE A FEMALE BODY.
SOME SCENES ARE QUITE GRAPHIC & RAW, NOT A MOVIE FOR EVERYONE. JUST EXCELLECT PERFORMANCES BY ALL, WITHOUT ALOT OF FANCY HOLLYWOOD FRILLS. A MOVIE YOU WILL NOT EASILY IF EVER FORGET, TRAGICLY BASED ON TRUE EVENTS. -
