The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Forrest Goodluck, Sasha Lane, & Chloe Grace Moretz

Back in the Bad Old Days (1993), SSA (same sex attraction) was considered by many to be aberrant and reversible.

That's how Cameron (Chloe Grace Moretz) wound up at God's Promise, a conversion-therapy facility where she's told that her weakness can be eradicated with proper devotion to God. The well-meaning brother/sister team in charge believe what they preach, but soon Cameron and two other students realize the team is just making it up as they go along.

For the most part, this engaging movie is gentle and quiet and the characters are so well drawn that spending time with them is a pleasure. The film doesn't break new ground with a subject that's been dealt with before, still Movie Slut highly recommends it.
