Good story, much-needed topic, phenomenal acting. The way Jared feels about the conversion program changes subtly but gradually, and it bursts out as climax. The only problem is that 'Boy Erased' is too dry and placid for me. It is not captivating or charismatic enough to be a 'great' movie. I know the director and writers intended to discuss conversion therapy program and how it affects vulnerable teens especially. However, what hits me more is later part of Jared and his relationship with his parents. His mother finally stepping up for her son is touching and emotional; his strained relationship with his pastor father is very realistic.
