Flipped (2010)
I guess this movie is more about the things that are not in the movie. Like, although it is a (teen) drama set in the 50s suburbia, there are no bullies, no lynching, no pedophilia, no antisemitism, no back alley abortions, no repressed homosexuals, no cold war hysteria, no killer clowns chasing kids, no abusive parents.
The premise of the movie is that a girl falls in love with a boy and he has problems expressing his feelings because he is immature and still shy about those things, and we can see it is because his dad is making him feel uncomfortable with his cynical remarks.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
