About

Choose this only if you want a sincere, tough watch about faith-driven conversion therapy and family fallout; Not for you if you need a more emotionally involving experience, or if you prefer lighter coming-of-age takes like Love, Simon or Get Real.

Pros: important subject matter; strong lead performances; thoughtful sincerity | Cons: emotionally distant; underwhelming drama; paper-thin characters
