It is the early 1990s in an orthodox Christian community. Cameron Post, an orphan who lives with her adoptive family is discovered by her boyfriend having sex with another girl. A new chapter in Cameron’s life unfolds: she is sent to a boarding school where they “treat” homosexuality and is forced to forge a path through a deluge of clichés and sterile pseudo-psychological mantras. But from her point of view, what could have registered as a traumatic experience, becomes a daring, and often amusing, adventure.
Desiree Akhavan (brilliant comedy Appropriate Behavior and the TV show The Bisexual), adapted Emily Danforth’s novel into an original and captivating film. This is a bold and at times, even amusing cinematic piece, shown through the eyes of a young protagonist who has no intention of bowing down to the pressures of the conservative society in which she was raised.
