Written as an expose of the conversion therapy evil, it is powerful but somehow missing the full impact of that evil -- family strife and anguish, murderous impact on the victims. Another film, The Miseducation of Cameron Post is said to cover much of the same ground. I have not seen this film yet.

Oscar nomination 2019: Best Picture, Best Actor (Hedges), Best Supporting Actress (Kidman)
