An engaging, factually based, well-acted, coming-of-age, realistic, down-to-earth, 114-minute film based on Garrard Conley's memoir Boy Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith, and Family in which a gay, 19-year-old student (Lucas Hedges) is forced to participate in homosexual conversion therapy run by an unqualified preacher (Joel Edgerton) with other homosexuals (Théodore Pellerin, Xavier Dolan, David Joseph Craig, Michael "Flea" Balzary, Troye Sivan, et al. ) when a classmate (Joe Alwyn) tells his straitlaced, Baptist minister father (Russell Crowe), who owns a car dealership in Arkansas, and concerned mother (Nicole Kidman) that he is attracted to men.
