Desiree Akhavan’s second outing as a feature film director is a movie
about ‘struggling with same sex attraction’. Cameron Post (Chloe Grace Moretz)
is discovered in the back seat of a car having a sexual liaison with another
girl by her stunned small-minded boyfriend, she’s sent off, for her so called
sins, to a conversion therapy centre to be ‘cured’. At this Christian Centre
she and other gay teenagers are subject to various de-gaying methods but the
plus is she finds herself part of a close gay community. It’s an energetic wee
film that I enjoyed but I feel it could have done a lot more with the subject
matter and unfortunately had a rather dull ending - but still worth a watch.
