BOYS DON'T CRY is one of the most exciting films I have seen in the last five years. Although the story has been somewhat fictionalized, first-time director Kimberly Peirce has made a fiercely compelling character study. Hilary Swank is a revelation as the troubled Brandon Teena, and Chloe Sevigny is positively enchanting as the girl he/she loves.
