Review of Boy Erased (2018) by Joshua V — 15 Jan 2019
Boy Erased may depict its subject matter in a tame manner but in no way takes it lightly. Instead, the film uses its PG-13 rating to make its story more accessible to people who may otherwise not give it a chance if it had depicted the story with more graphic scenes and language.
It never tries to attack people's religious beliefs or the idea of God's existence, but instead tries to question how those beliefs can sometimes be used to pull families apart, and more importantly hurt the ones who need love and support the most.
Boy Erased effectively attempts to educate people on the hurtful nature of ignorance, the need for acceptance, and the power of love. Ultimately, Boy Erased tries to encourage its viewers to begin practicing love and acceptance for tor the people in their lives, instead of purely preaching about it.
