"Boy Erased" tells the story of Jared (Lucas Hedges), the son of a Baptist pastor in a small American town, who is outed to his parents (Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe) at age 19. Jared is faced with an ultimatum: attend a conversion therapy program - or be permanently exiled and shunned by his family, friends, and faith. Boy Erased is the true story of one young man's struggle to find himself while being forced to question every aspect of his identity. While it appears to be a pretty straightforward (and Oscar bait-y) drama, the acclaim for the performances is enough to make me curious about this one.

I'll be in the upstairs bar area, at the tables along the outer wall, by 7:15 for the 7:30 show. Come say hi and then go into the theater to grab a good seat. We'll gather in the same area after the film for a quick head count and then walk over to the Hornet next door for discussion, drinks and snacks.
