cliche escape from the trauma of religious dogma movie

Thatcher wanted the role so badly, she used her own upbringing in the Mormon church to convince the team to cast her. Though she’s no longer a practicing Mormon (“I do not agree with pretty much anything”), she loves her family and “didn’t want to portray any clichés.” “I wanted it to feel like my family,” Thatcher says. “My co-star, Chloe East, also grew up Mormon. I feel like we both did a good job of making it real and grounded and not a joke.”
