Nickel Boys- A Bold Directorial Narrative Feature Debut
Quick Take: Another screener without audio description, and one that I really wanted to have the track for. Ramel Ross made a strong directorial choice to tell this film in first person point of view, that I was really intrigued as to how the audio description team would handle it. Sadly, Amazon does not provide audio description for its screeners. Without my help, nickel Boys has gotten close to its Best Picture Oscar Nomination, after landing in the Golden Globe race. I ahve a feeling I will love the final product, but this film is really pretty unwatchable without audio description. I even had hopes, as rumors swirled that the Spirit Awards would be getting some audio description. While Amazon/MGM provided audio description there for My Old Ass, they still failed to do so for Nickel Boys and The Fire Inside. One day, this will be on Prime, and I’ll be very happy. Until then, my support goes to Ross for his bold directorial choice, just in concept alone. I can’t wait to get the full experience of it. For more, check out the video. I will rereview this at some point in the future.
