The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a good film, but I felt like it could have and should have been a great film.
Chloe Grace Moretz makes for a very compelling lead. She brought a real sensitivity and depth to this role that was very engaging and drew you into her character. The supporting cast were all fantastic too so the film can't be faulted from this point of view.
The story is pretty well developed, depicting the incredibly cruel manipulation that goes on in these backwards conversion therapy camps. I do wish it had gone further though. The film is often very contemplative and reflective with fully scratching beneath the surface of its characters or themes, which left me wanting more. In this way I feel like the film wasn't nearly as emotional as it could have been.
Still, the film is shot very well, and overall it is an engaging and provoking piece. It just feels like there was a missed opportunity to really push this film. Most definitely worth a watch nonetheless.
