IMDb plot summary: In 1993, a teenage girl is forced into a gay conversion therapy center by her conservative guardians.
Directed by Desiree Akhavan. Starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Sasha Lane, John Gallagher Jr., and Emily Skeggs.
This movie is heartbreaking at times. It does a good job as well of focusing it very much on the personal aspects of the story, not digging deeply into the morality of the theology behind what's happening and getting preachy about it in the abstract, just showing the kind of impact it had on the characters themselves. I found John Gallagher Jr.'s character absolutely fascinating and wish we'd gotten some more story about him.
