Boy Erased is a well-acted and moving film based on Garrard Conley’s 2016 memoir of the same name, due to be released in the UK on 8 February.

It charts the journey of the son of a Baptist pastor as he attends a traumatising gay ‘conversion therapy’ programme. It uses unethical practices. the kind that spring to mind when one hears criticism of the suggestion that therapy can help people who are gay ‘move away’ from their lifestyle.
