I saw this film especially for Lucas Hedges. And, yes, after the end of Boy Erased, this motif was the fair one. A film about family and fears / obey/ shame of parents about their son sexual orientation. The conversion therapy, so familiar from other films about same subject. And a real case inspiring the movie script. But , in high measure, that are only details. The film is good for the fine performances and for a story sustain by small pieces defining large slices of loneliness near isolation. And, no doubts, Lucas Hedges is more than a young good actor. So, maybe a warning, manifesto or confession/ testimony. Not the film is remarkable but the pieces constructing it.
