The way it causes distress and breaks people is shown differently through the various side characters and none of it is good. The homophobia and control that the Love In Action conversion program enforces over the poor souls inducted into this brainwashing camp becomes increasingly extreme.
Except for about 3 light moments scattered throughout the subject matter of conversion therapy and the environment our protagonist Jared is literally TRAPPED in is awful. Normally movies have a scene that shifts into the distressing/uncomfortable and you're like 'wow, what a great scene.' That's the whole movie. Never have I been so uncomfortable so long a period of time.
