Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story

The lead actress was terrible, she almost looked happy and content even when she had to carry rocks all around all day. But overall the story had a lot of missing points as well, like how passive the girl was by not even trying hard enough to escape, how full of love for her parents in that situation etc. Anyone else would at least accuse her parents and be a bit smarter about the situation, I was disturbed how passive and naive she was. Both the story and the acting was just terrible, waste of time.

The movie was well acted and serves its purpose for bringing to light an important topic of LGBTQ minors being held captive in conversion therapy. (Which is currently still legal in 33 state.)

Trigger warning for those sensitive to depictions of self harm and suicide.

I added an extra star for Wilson Cruz portraying Utah-based lawyer and champion for LGBTQ rights Paul C. Burke.

Pour It Up!

This movie was so hard to watch in places. What this young girl went through is just unimaginable ..these sort of religious but cases should be held accountable for what they have done and her parents too.

Highly recommended for any parent who struggles with their LGBTQ child. May it open their eyes to the inhumane treatment too often experienced by many children of indoctrinated parents. This movie captures a lot of real life scenarios children who have been abused by religious teachings deal with

This story about a girl sent to conversion therapy could have been more dramatic. The acting by the lead actress seemed laid back. She didn't act upset enough while being trapped and punished.
