Boy Erased at HOME
Creative TouristIn actor-director Joel Edgerton’s potent drama the teenaged son of a Baptist pastor is forced into a gay-conversion programme by his parents. Based on Garrard Conley’s eponymous memoir, the film, driven by a superlative performance by Hedges (Lady Bird), intelligently considers what it means to reconcile one’s upbringing with one’s own self-respect and moral truths.
