Films on homo relations have been done a lot in the past and quite a few of them really excelled. This film is one of them. Believe it or not! This film reminded me of 'Threesome' starring Lara Flynn. This film is equally good as the former, only this time it is focussed entirely on the only protagonist - a lesbian girl. Chloe delivers a brilliant performance as the open headed girl surrounded by typical relegious mentalities around her. You easily know when she is happy and when she gets irritated. Rest everyone does a wonderful job! One of the good films of this year to watch out for! PS : I hope 2019 has even more to offer!

I can't believe people would do this to kids. They say they love you then make you hate who you are. Insane.

You have to take this film for what it is: a low-key exploration of the experience of teenagers in a fundamentalist Christian gay conversion camp. The biggest mistake a movie like this could make would be to overly vilify everything about the camp and it's staff rather then dealing with them as human beings who are the products of their own misguided religious belief systems. The second biggest mistake a film like this could make would be NOT to address the emotional abuse that such a practice delivers. To this end, the film lets the harm of conversion therapy be self-evident without overtly pointing to it in a reactionary, outraged fashion. This is no easy accomplishment. The film is subtle and features solid acting performances by promising young actors, led by the magnificent Chloe Grace Moretz. They managed to portray the realistic ambivalence experienced by LGBT youth who find themselves in such situations. Although it will win no great swards, will be no blockbuster, and will not become a cult classic, this film definitely belongs on your must-watch list if you care about this issue.

The book and this movie are two very very different worlds. I think if you read the book than avoid this movie because like every other lgbt movie they messed it up but that's life.

I honestly thought this movie was a drama remake of 'But I'm a cheerleader', as the plot is almost identical! It starts the same, develops similarly and end almost the same - minus the romance between the main character and another girl, which in the case it's at the beginning. And the similarities even include little details such as a creepy female owner of the facility, with a male assistant who used to be gay himself; friendship amongst the more alternative kids; the fact that's set in the 90's etc. It wouldn't bother me if I haven't read that the director said in an interview that people see similarities just because they're two movies about lesbians... well, no: it's because it's the same freaking plot!! Anyway, I found the movie itself OK but quite boring and predictable, and a good indication it's that I found myself glancing at my watch often, I just wasn't enjoying it, and I wasn't expecting this 'cause it's 'my style' of movie.

Throughout the film, I was trying to figure out what's the reason behind making this film now. It's about gay Christian conversion camp set in 1993 and tells us what absolutely everyone (or at least people who this film is aimed at) in 2018 knows - conversion doesn't work. It would make more sense if it would be set in this day and age and would be showing conversion camps that still exist; but a 25 year-old-story is at the same time not old enough to be showing a piece of history, and not recent enough to be relevant to the current state of society. It also doesn't put a new spin on the story - if anything, it feels like almost the same plot as But I'm a Cheerleader (made in 1999). If the latter would be made today, it would be presented as a parody of Miseducation of CP, as it is a very campy comedy, however, it hits most of the same plot points. My only guess to why this film was made now is that films like this are able to get famous names and thus a more mainstream audience (like with Love, Simon earlier this year), allowing telling stories that were previously aimed at - and seen only by - a narrow group of people; and that someone wanted to do some nice sex scenes in a Christian environment. Now those were worth seeing!

This film felt very vague and could have done more

Chloë Grace Moretz has been squarely on our radar since 2011's phenomenal 'Hugo.' In 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post,' she plays a high school junior who gets caught in the back seat of a car with another girl during prom and is subsequently sent to a religious gay conversion facility. Playing a gay character is a rite of passage for many young actors and actresses. At its most poignant, such a performance brings the potential for an Academy Award into the realm of possibility (Tom Hanks in Philadelphia is one such example). In 'Miseducation,' Moretz puts her acting chops on full display and we couldn't be happier to see her continuing to push the boundaries of her talent. While the film itself is superb, it's also likely to fly too far under the radar to land Moretz any awards. However, the expectations for her to someday have enough hardware to fill up her mantle have never been higher.

This small film is a triumph of down-to-earth storytelling on the experience of young people going through gay conversion therapy through religious browbeating. It's the story of a teenage girl, Cameron Post, played with visceral substance by Chloe Grace Moretz, who experiences life in exactly this type of setting. Her story begins when she is discovered engaging in sexual intimacy with a female classmate during prom and is sent by her outraged aunt to a ghastly gay conversion camp in a rural area. She soon meets two other teenage members (Sasha Lane and Forrest Goodluck, both excellent) who secretly refuse to embrace the camp's philosophy. Although this could have been something more dramatic and perhaps could have gone a bit deeper, it's not a misfire by virtue of being slight in its length or in its treatment of the difficult material. It is alternately heartbreaking and outrageous but also at times bemusing as the camp veers between apparent sadism and pitiful ineptitude in trying to pound its young members into submission. Jennifer Ehle is powerful as the camp's leader and psychologist in an icy, Nurse Ratched-like performance who has her brother, a "cured" gay man as the camp's spiritual leader. The film also does not shy away from showing the emotional toll on even the camp's most docile members. Even though the film's resolution seems too casual and almost too simple, I still found it quite satisfying, together with a roaring soundtrack which toward the end conveys a ray of hope. Recommended for its thoughtful approach and fine performances.

Bored after 15 minutes. This movie has essentially been done before. Cliche's and predictable. Amazing to me that this movie won a rather prestigious festival award.
