After watching Hilary Swank’s Oscar winning performance in Million Dollar Baby, i knew i had to watch her breakthrough role in 1999’s seminal Boys Don’t Cry. Boys Don’t Cry is a film that Roger Ebert proclaimed as “One of The Best Films of the Year“, and coming from Ebert, argurably one of the best film critics around, i knew that it was exactly the kind of arthouse film that i liked. I was hoping for something that would be as good as 2003’s Monster starring Charlize Theron, a film that similarly banks on the outstanding performance of its lead actress. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite what i had expected, but still an intense journey nevertheless.
