If you loved The Gift, try Boy Erased
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Joel Edgerton, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Gift, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Boy Erased is
Arkansas, autumn, a church steeple looming. A young man stands at a precipice, his family's faith and love conditional on his participation in a conversion therapy program. Edgerton handles a sensitive topic with restraint.
