Where do I begin ? Well, firstly, probably one of the best performances ever by an actress. Secondly, a heartbreaking film. Hilary Swank is tremendous. A very deserving Best Actress Oscar winner(1999)in this movie as sexually confused Teena Brandon and her relationship with the women in her "new" life as a "man". It shows us upfront how sexual orientatipn and judgment actually becomes one, and it simply moves me to tears every single time I watch it. The torment,confusion and guts to be yourself as a gay person comes across with sensitivity and harshness at the same time. That is where this small masterpiece finds its beauty : In hard-hitting binary storytelling. And passionate acting. Just watch it. Believe in it. And cherish it for always. Then we'll talk again. Unbelievable.

What I have to say about this film won't take very long at all!
It is absolutly wonderful. A masterpiece. Superb acting, great cast.
The story centers around a young girl who says she isn't gay as she feels like she is a man. She dresses as one, acts like one and even puts a sock in a certain place to complete her look.
Then she meets a femine (Chloe) girl who is in a destructive relationship and they soon fall in love.
The sex scenes are mild but important. And the tragic ending when the ex-boyfriend finds out is so realistic.
This fact based story of forbidden love, confused sexuality, heart break, love and revenge is so wonderfully and realistically portrayed that even the most insensitive person could not fail to cry at the end.
Wonderful dark and magical stuff

I think it is strange that in the 'customers who bought this also bought...' box all the films are lesbian titles. at the time of the film's release, and since the DVD release, this has been classified as a gay/lesbian interest film. this, however, does not do the film justice at all. Giving it such a definition as 'gay/lesbian interest' does not give it justice at all: anyone who enjoys thoughtful, romantic films will fall in love with Boys Don't Cry regardless of their sexuality. This is a truly brilliant film, one of the most underrated of the 90s. Hilary Swank is excellent as Teena Brandon, but to me the most compelling performance was that of Chloe Sevigny. Her's is the most complex character, confused by her love for Brandon. She plays her character beautifully, and you will find it hard to tear your eyes away from her whenever she is on screen. the scene where brandon makes love to her is painfully emotional, almost hard to watch at times. The song by The Cure, 'Boys Don't Cry' is one of the best pop songs ever, and completes an almost perfect film.
Will change your perception of human relationships forever.

What are little girls made of?
This is a gutsy portrayal of prejudice, ignorance, and intolerance among a small clique of disenfranchised white trash. Read more

Me Rambling as Usual
Boys Don't Cry is depressing. It's depressing just because it is; and because it's basically a true story as well. Read more

Hilary Swank is incredible
The story heart breaking. Based on a true story- I hope those 2 men are never released- the darkest side of intolerance
A haunting film
