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

4/5

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.

Add it all up and what we have is a coming-of-age tale as emotionally resonant as it is brutally important.

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

4/5

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

A menos que uno este en la época de descubrimiento pre adolescente o que te parezca demasiado linda Chloe Moretz no hay muchas razones para ver esta película. Bastante lenta, aburrida y predecible; cuando finalmente pasa algo para que la trama avance (y uno se despierte) termina. Así, de una. Fin.

Approaches the subject of “treating homosexuality “ with sincerity, compassion and staying away from any cheap shots. The different actors embody their characters convincingly. Unfortunately, child abuse in similar centers continues to happen.

Cameron Post does a great job pulling out these characters humanity, in a convincing fashion. It's very well cast with a mix of fresh faces and under-utilized, good actors. It's not the most feel-good movie, but it is very well done and does keep you invested throughout. It's definitely intriguing to the point that if you want to feel a sense of meaning while checking off a top-tier indie, then you should check out Cameron Post.

I absolutely hated this movie, and that's why it's so brilliant. It perfectly conveys the horror that is emotional abuse, and is not for the feint of heart. It is designed to make you hate it. You will despise the emotions you feel when you watch this movie, but those emotions are so, so important to be shown because conversion camps are a truly horrible thing and they hurt teens everywhere.
