Sadly, this film had the makings of an interesting character study. What begins as a troubled teen's coming to terms with his world and identity turns into some reverse morality play with a Catholic (?) priest embodying all the hypocrisy and evil of every ill done in the name of Christianity. Unfortunately, we then have to suspend our disbelief here and accept that priests are these hipster douches (complete with "man-bun") who go around seducing women so they will turn against their sons, when in reality it's all just a clever ploy to see the son naked so they can affix some medieval torture device to his genitals in the guise of "conversion therapy". Well...Catholics don't do "conversion therapy"...never have, just as an FYI to the writer and viewer; the Catholic church's stance is anyone who is homosexual is called to celibacy, (not that it matters, because...hey, Catholicism is fair game, right?). Just awful. I'm giving this 2 stars for the music, which was on point. But don't take that as any sort of endorsement to watch this tripe.
