Boy Erased

The son of a Baptist preacher unwillingly participates in a church-supported gay conversion program after being forcibly outed to his parents.

Details

Boy Erased is a thought-provoking and powerful film that showcases the struggles of a young man, Jared, who is forced into a gay conversion program by his devoutly religious parents. Jared's father is a Baptist preacher, and when Jared is involuntarily outed, his parents believe that the program will cure him of his homosexuality.

The movie explores Jared's journey as he participates in the program, highlighting the emotional and psychological toll it takes on him. As he undergoes various therapies and treatments aimed at changing his sexual orientation, Jared begins to question the validity and morality of conversion therapy.

With impressive performances from a talented cast, including Lucas Hedges as Jared, Nicole Kidman as his mother, and Russell Crowe as his father, Boy Erased presents an emotional and nuanced portrayal of a young man's journey towards finding his true self amidst societal and familial pressures.
