In 1993 a girl named Cameron was arrested as a teenager, where she was caught in the back seat of a car with a queen concert. After the arrest, Cameron was sent to a treatment center in a remote area. Cameron was suspicious of her anomaly as she was doing strange things with the girls. She was dubious, as she was communicating with some of her fellow residents there.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a modest-size film that performs a service opposite to that of Conversion therapy: It respects the vulnerability that accompanies the emergence of any young person's sexuality.
Akhavan keeps the camera locked on Moretz's face; every time you think she can't possibly go closer, she does. But it's the definition of a female gaze.
Miseducation benefits from Moretz in the lead. Her abilities and maturity go well beyond her 21 years, and this is surely the finest of her films to date.
