The main character is trapped in a home where she is continually emotionally abused and made to believe that being gay is so wrong that she deserves to be abused for it, then the abusers deny it ever happened. The main character’s actual parents belittle her struggle.

The majority of the movie shows the main character, in her early teens, being physically and emotionally abused on account of her being gay. The movie makes it clear that the abuse is not okay.

There is a moment with a razor, and the character is toying with it and cuts her thumb. Bare razors are a trigger for me, and even though this blade was in the plastic shaver case this scene was uncomfortable to watch.

The main character is physically and emotionally abused, made to carry heavy rocks in a bag every waking hour and stare at a wall. The movie details a real life person’s experience with conversion therapy, so it also involves emotional abuse. Her parents allow the abuse willingly because they think it will “fix her”

The main character is being held in a house with strangers against her will, but her parents have consented to it. There is a very distressing scene where she is getting groceries with the husband, and attempts to hand a shopper a piece of paper saying she is kidnapped and needs help. The husband finds out, says she was joking, and then the camera cuts to her being physically abused by him in the parking lot.

If I remember correctly, the main character self harms with a razor once, and the moment leading up to it is shown but is not graphic

This movie is centered around the homophobic practice of conversion therapy, so there are slurs. Many characters also shame the main character for being gay, and claim their religion punishes homosexuality / being homoromantic.

Homophobic language is used, but it’s made very clear that this is wrong.
