Intensely powerful; this is yet another statement on how some people in the Christian faith fail to understand homosexuality. As a Christian myself, and as somebody who has struggled with his own sexuality, this film resonated with me, especially in relation to the misplaced judgements that some people in the church have imposed upon me. A very good film and one that should be seen, regardless of your faith or sexuality - its message of tolerance is a universal one.

A deeply disturbing and uncomfortable watch. Lucas Hedges gives a deeply rooted, present performance. Nicole Kidman's role is the pivot of this piece, and, unsurprisingly, she completely embodies the compassion and love needed. Russell Crowe does well with what he is given, but this is where I think the film fails - it never sees the father's crisis of faith and oversimplifies a very complex internal battle by characterizing faith as judgemental, manipulative and ultimately hateful, so it gave Crowe very little to work with (I think this was the unresolved issue of the author - he never really sees his father, and so that story is never told or the crisis resolved). Personally, I'm still waiting for a film that faithfully brings both real crises to the screens. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10, but the whole story remains untold. [Drama]

Boy Erased was amazing. Incredibly tragic story. It felt like a remake of Full Metal Jacket at times, were it not a true story. Great cast. You know who deserves the nod for best supporting actor? Flea. Incredible asshole presence. Good luck not crying. 9/10

I wish there were more mothers out there like Nancy who chose their child instead of their religious beliefs. I'm glad my mother did too.I wish there were more mothers out there like Nancy who put their kids first place instead of their religions believes.

I cried so many times and I'm still crying writing this.For everyone reading this,it might be a movie hard to watch.But for me,it's a series of memories i don't even want to remember.It was horrific and tensing.Im living in southern most part of India and I've studied in a missionary school.When I was at 11th grade,i experienced every struggles this movie shows and I still can't even believe that I escaped it and living peacefully isolated.The one thing I hate most in the world is the God and belivers
