Perhaps the most controversial photographer in American history, Robert Mapplethorpe’s work celebrated a range of subjects, from flowers to S&M. He electrified the contemporary art world and immortalized a generation ravaged by AIDS. From the early ’70s until his untimely death, the film explores the intersection of his art and his sexuality and his struggle for mainstream recognition, all in the face of the emerging AIDS crisis. Featuring Matt Smith (Doctor Who, The Crown) the biopic offers a nuanced portrait of an artist at the height of his craft and of the self-destructive impulses that threaten to undermine it all.

BOY ERASED is based on True Story
The only child of a car salesman and soon-to-be Baptist pastor, Conley was “terrified and conflicted about his sexuality”.[2] At nineteen, while in college, he was outed as gay to his parents and given the choice of being disowned or being subjected to gay conversion therapy that promised to cure his homosexuality.[2] The timing came as his father was about to be ordained as a Baptist minister.[3] Conley was enrolled in a Love in Action ex-gay program, and recounts the harm he was subjected to there in the name of curing his sexuality.[4]
.
The Bay Area Reporter noted, “Conley’s memoir oscillates between his revelations, good and bad, during time spent in the fold of the ex-gay ministry during his two-week stint in the ‘Source’ trial program, and his personal and familial history [that led up to] induction in the program.”[5] He recounts the months of counseling he underwent followed by a two-week intensive intervention.[6] He also includes other participants’ accounts and a “Timeline of the Ex-Gay Movement”.
