Its realistic tone gripped me from start to finish. A straightforward story that still hits younto the core. Wonderful acting on all fronts

Chloë Grace Moretz is a 90s teen sent to Christian conversion therapy in The Miseducation of Cameron Post, a striking depiction of the wrong-headed practice because we're not shown a horror show. Everyone is kind and nice and churchy and the vibe is rather absurd (like the Christian-specific aerobics), as "professionals" use every rhetorical trick in the Good Book to explain away same-sex attraction. A smart kid will see right through it. Cameron is such a kid. No matter how gentle the camp councilors are, we can't miss the fact that this kind of "programming" is mental and emotional abuse, and the cast is large enough for us to see different reactions to the so-called therapy. I was especially glad to see a character who identifies as Two-Spirit (Indian Horse's Forrest Goodluck), that's a reality we never see. Not that cinema is littered with conversion therapy stories. This is a good, thoughtful entry in the LGBTQ+ film canon.

I appreciated the inclusion of Cameron's dreams at some points. One's dreams can really make a difference, especially in such a fragile and emotional time in life. As viewer, I felt the mood change in accordance with the dreams.
