"A Film I Love..."

The "A Film I Love..." selection of Cambridge Film Trust Chair, Isabelle McNeill is streaming in the CFF at Home Screening Room until Sunday Night.

Cameron Post looks the part of a perfect high school girl. But after she's caught with another girl in the backseat of a car, Cameron is quickly shipped off to a conversion therapy centre that treats teens "struggling with same-sex attraction."


Set during the 1990s, The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a throwback to a time of cassette tapes, frumpy knitwear and alternative rock music, but also one in which attitudes towards homosexual people were significantly more repressive in the US. However, this is not an issue of the past.

"The Miseducation of Cameron Post – prayers answered with conversion therapy drama. *****

Chloë Grace Moretz puts in a career-best turn as a teen sent to ‘pray away the gay’ at a Christian camp in Desiree Akhavan’s compassionate LGBT story" - The Guardian
