These kids are so scared, that no real conversations are established. You, like, watch and experience their pain but have nothing at your disposal to resist. It made me feel defeated.

Cameron Post é pega transando com uma amiga no carro do seu namorado. Sua família decide enviá-la para um centro religioso de cura gay. Lá Cameron tem que se entender como pessoa. Interessante que no mesmo ano temos dois filmes tratando do mesmo assunto: centros religiosos de cura gay. Se Boy Erased, era sobre um menino, aqui a personagem principal é uma menina. Basicamente, os dois filmes trabalham da mesma forma: disfarçados por um véu de psicanálise, é na verdade um lugar que obriga a pessoa a se anular como indivíduo para ser um integrante da sociedade. Apresentam-se como compreensivos, mas a todo momento o seu preconceito explode, como no caso da personagem da Dr. Lydia Marsh, que critica o cabelo grande de Adam, mas só se acalma quando o raspa. O elenco é muito bom, principalmente o jovem, com destaque é claro para Chole Grace Moretz, que passa muito bem todo conflito da sua personagem, que quer ser aceita na sociedade, mas para isso tem que anular uma parte de si.

Chloe Grace-Moretz plays Cameron Post, a young teenager who discovers she's a lesbian Her prom night is ruined after getting caught and her family sends her to conversion therapy Cameron befriends other so-called sinners feeling like they're being stepped on because of their lifestyle She's also becomes tired of being disgusted by herself The characters have of course plenty of shame and internalized loathing Moretz gives a very defining performance Director Desiree Akhavan has plenty of stuff to say about sexual repression, self-affirmation, and a microcosm of gay conversion the most important love is self-love, being true to yourself, you don't have to beg for the affection by others

Amazing is the only word that comes to mind when thinking of this film. Akhavan incredibly manages to portray queerness and everything behind it in a context were it is not widely accepted. We are presented with different teenagers that deal with that queerness in many different ways. Most important, queer people can feel identified with this film towards their very own process of acceptance and understanding and how the world views that process. Quite a refreshing film.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Cameron - the kind of cool kid who'd use the word "cool" with caution - fits Moretz like a glove.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Akhavan plays it with poignant wit, zest and a lusty sense of defiance, combining the bonding charms of a brat-pack crowd-pleaser with the psychological terrors of a prom-night horror flick.

Rated: 4/5

The Pink Lens

While Moretz is at her best, this really is the Akhavan show, whose work here is accomplished, measured and rock-steady.

Lola On Film

Nail[s] the intricacies of emotional abuse in such terrible detail, while muted by pastel colours of Akhavan's narrative zaniness.

...this is a poignant and involving drama to a point. But it's also low-key to a fault...
