This is a well acted, bizzarre if not disturbing storyline. Not one i'd watch again but its difinately one to watch for the emotional journey of a girl who feels more comfortable portraying a boy.
Shocking!! Can't believe how cruel and sadistically some people are. Hilary Swank did an awesome job, thumbs up for her :DLana: Shut up, that's your business. I don't care if you are half monkey or half ape, I'm gettin' you out of here!
It is nevertheless a movie worth watching for the younger generation. It captivates the hidden drama in scenes of immense action and excitement. There is a big question of morality, a really big one, but the soul of the whole film lies underneath that controversial theme.

An excellent biopic about some of the last moments of Brandon Teena's life. Hillary Swank definately reassures anyone who sees this movie that she is a great actress.
I LOVED THE MOVIE!!! Hilary Swank played her charcter so well that I didn't realize that she wasn't a guy. This is one of my favorite time movies now.
Penso che per i prossimi vent'anni non sarò in grado di riguardarlo, causa magone.
The story was very disturbing! Swank's did a remarkable performance here, she was really good.
This movie is a very sad movie..transgendered people are people just like anyone else....and they deserve to be happy..
Hilary Swank's ticket to stardom, Boys Don't Cry is a solemn effort to capture the controversial life and death of transexual Teena Brandon, the girl who wanted to be a boy.
I watched the film back in 2000, when it opened in cinemas in Greece. I was shocked and amazed. I still b...( read more)
"Dear Lana, By the time you read this I'll be back home in Lincoln. I'm scared of what's ahead, but when I think of you I know I'll be able to go on. You were right, Memphis isn't that far off. I'll be taking that trip down the highway before too long. I'll be waiting for you....( read more)
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)
Swank, Sevigny and Sarsgaard put in brilliant performances in Peirce's uneasy and powerful film, based on real life events. Recommended!
Desgarradora historia sobre la intolerancia y el odio hacia los que son "diferentes".
Contada de una manera inteligente y compasiva, lo que la hacen una película excelente.
La actuación de Swank, que le valió el Oscar, es impecable , una de las mejores de los últimos años, interp...( read more)
well i have seen some films acted by hilary swank and am certain that i will get to watch this particular one ,one thing i do like about Swank is the conduct in what she does portray,so am positive some other people will like it too.Nice veiwing to those watching it now.
Hard to see movie, which talks mainly about treatment that society gives to people who are different. Most of the film is quite boring, because it mainly insists about the lifestyle of that deep America in which the only interesting thing you can do is drinking, stealing cars, wh...( read more)
I disagree with the academy and critics on this. I have nothing against homosexuality, but this was done all wrong. It's hard to admit or even doubt a movie if it's inspired and based on a true tragedy that's happened. This wasn't hard at all to get out.
Hillary Swank has the re...( read more)
Don't get me wrong, it's super depressing and all, but would you really think of rewatching it?
Yes, Swank does give a good performance, it's everything else that is stupid. She dresses like a boy due to a "sexual personality disorder", starts hanging around with people who are clearly going to hurt her when they find out, and wants to marry Sevigny. Lo and behold they find...( read more)
watched it coz of hillary swank's role in it ! the story eventhough true but doest well depicted her struggle to find herself in the sexual identity crisis.
This is just amazing, I was really blown away. I started watching this movie without really knowing what it was about and I just couldn't draw myself away from it.
A very emotional film to watch. The story is so unique, and knowing it is based on the true life of Teena Brandon makes it all the more sadder.
Hilary Swank is outstanding as Teena/ Brandon. She really embraces the role and makes you believe in her. She is convincing in her act...( read more)
Just couldn't get over Hilary Swank making out with girls in this movie, totally hated it.
Based on actual events. Brandon Teena is the popular new guy in a tiny Nebraska town. He hangs out with the guys, drinking, cussing, and bumper surfing, and he charms the young women, who've never met a more sensitive and considerate young man. Life is good for Brandon, now that ...( read more)

This is based on a true story, It's so messed up what they did to this girl.
Devestatingly sad movie (thumbs up), but sad that it was actually a way worse situation in real life.
