neutral · AI labelView post →But I'm a Cheerleader is such a funny movie!!! It's like Boy Erased but comically stupid 🤣 Great representation of people trying to ignore their sexuality. The best characters were RuPaul being a masculine coach 🤣 and Andre who is the gayest character I have ever seen LMAO

neutral · AI labelView post →Have you all seen the film 'Boy Erased'? A story of a fundamentalist preacher's son sent to an abusive conversion therapy camp because he's gay. Way less fun than 'Because I'm a Cheerleader,' this film is extremely real. It's uncannily similar to my experience. If only I had Nicole Kidman as mother.
positive · AI labelView post →Boy Erased movie review: This was an interesting example of conversion therapy to me. Just different from what I feel like I usually see. I was waiting for Troye Sivan to sing tho. My friend told me he couldn't feel bad about white people suffering after we finished this 😅🤭
neutral · AI labelView post →Boy Erased movie w/ Nicole Kidman etc 2018 about a victim of conversion therapy!

positive · AI labelView post →Watching Boy Erased now... apparently the theme of my movie choices this week is conversion therapy for gay kids (so grateful I don't have religious trauma) 😭
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe he is one ^^ but i haven't heard anything about it except troye sivan i was always sure and he made it public, that was also due to his songs and the movie “Three Months” & “Boy Erased”

neutral · AI labelView post →Think there's one in "Boy Erased" too, middle of the film she's talking to her son and there's a split frame where there's a reaction. Not sure though.

neutral · AI labelView post →i don't have any of my own but i might be someone else's. i had a customer i liked and invited him out to see a movie with me and my friends. the movie was "Boy Erased". huge bummer. in my defense i genuinely did not consider it a date, i just thought he was cool, but i don't think that was clear
negative · AI labelView post →Boy Erased is a great film, but very strange for Netflix to casually recommend in a notification as a 'Perfect Night In'.
positive · AI labelView post →Clearly comes from a place of respect, but it's emotionally unengaging and rather dull > Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage.

neutral · AI labelView post →For me, this movie was very difficult to watch, but a must see nonetheless. We must, as communities, face the reality of the way we treat our brothers and sisters. And we must change.

positive · AI labelView post →Yet another anticipated film from an actor-turned-director is Boy Erased, the work of Golden Globe nominee Joel Edgerton, who wrote and stars in the film. The flick follows the recently outed son of a Baptist preacher, Jared (Lucas Hedges), after he’s forced to partake in the church’s gay conversion program. Based on the critically acclaimed memoir by Garrard Conley, Boy Erased features an all-star cast which, in addition to Hedges and Edgerton, boasts Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Russell…
