When teenage Jared (Lucas Hedges) realises that he is gay, he is terrified. Brought up in a small conservative Christian town, and the son of a Baptist pastor, Jared struggles to have his parents and community accept who he is. His parents (played by Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe) push him to attend a gay conversion therapy camp, where Jared encounters even more conflicts and starts to question whether his desires are truly not “normal.” This story about self-acceptance, accepting others, and faith is a dark but important and powerful one. It also stars popular singer and YouTuber Troye Sivan as one of Jared’s camp mates.
