The first three acts will make you feel angry at the unfiltered look at the subject of LGBT conversion therapy. You feel the hurt and struggle of the protagonist and his situation. The climax in the final minutes of the movie is simple given the complex conflict and offers evidence that it gets better delivering hope to the audience. Oscar caliber performances by the entire cast. No one was wasted or thrown away. Award season begins with this movie.

Boy Erased could have been more sharply etched, all told – there’s something naggingly indistinct about it. But the lessons of Conley’s experience fight manfully, all the same, to punch through and be counted.

The most emotionally arresting moments of Boy Erased are delivered through quieter scenes between Jared and his parents.

The reason that Boy Erased hits you like a shot in the heart can be found in Jared’s relationship with his parents. Kidman brings stirring compassion and a growing strength to a woman who learns about herself the more she learns about her son. And Crowe is magnificent as a believer who can’t quite storm the barricades his faith erects around a true reconciliation with his son.
