Chicago, we've got tickets to see Boy Erased for free
Perhaps sparked by the believer in said “therapies” currently occupying the Vice President’s office, dramas about the practice of forced gay-conversion therapy are something of a mini-trend this year. First there was The Miseducation Of Cameron Post, which premiered back in late July. Now there’s Boy Erased, director Joel Edgerton’s follow-up to The Gift based on the memoir of the same name by Garrard Conley. Lucas Hedges stars as a 19-year-old preacher’s son Jared, who’s shipped off to a coercive “therapy” group designed to “cure” him of his homosexuality after he’s outed to his parents, played by Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman.
