Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

Boys Don't Cry is a very sad story about a girl, pretending to be a boy. She comes in a lot of trouble when certain people discover her secret. It is a true story, but you can't hardly believe that. Hilary Swank was the only actress who deserved the Oscar for Best Actress. The film has its slower moments, but use the time to think about what you see...
