There, she's subjected to religious discipline, but also finds sympathetic friends. The script delights in exposing the outrageous treatments and cruel concepts of this misguided approach, but it also presents a relatively rounded look at various "disciples" in the program. There's considerable focus on making the story earnest. The performances help, but the film never reaches an emotionally-compelling level. A personal complaint: from my limited experience, most of the people at these facilities are predictable stereotypes, but none of the males in this movie was especially effeminate nor the females that butch.

Also the slow narrative plays against the film and although I had heard that Chloë Grace Moretz offered the best performance of her career, the truth is that I saw nothing that I haven't seen before and I'm neither surprised nor satisfied with her performance.

Worse still when the film reaches a truly dramatic moment its director practically hides it, even its repercussions and only shows the idyllic escape of its protagonists. Disappointing.

But as a reminder it does functions well. Get away from any unhealthy elements of any religion. Live with pride and decision about what you are.

I saw The Miseducation of Cameron Post at cinema's and had no idea what it was about but somebody told me it was about a lesbian so I was excited to see it!!!!! I thought it would have lots of sex in it and be a decent film, however I wasI saw The Miseducation of Cameron Post at cinema's and had no idea what it was about but somebody told me it was about a lesbian so I was excited to see it!!!!! I thought it would have lots of sex in it and be a decent film, however I was wrong because it turned out to be some drama which is okay but this drama was a road to nowhere and the ending was rubbish.

Interesting film with a strong cast. At the crux of it is an unadorned view of both teenagers and adults trying to figure out sexuality. Some of them are misguided, and most make mistakes.
