Review of The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) by Derrick D — 04 Dec 2018

--SPOILERS--.

As much as the film touched on real life situations regarding the various conflicts between homosexuality and religion together, the overall delivery of the story was a complete mess. It almost felt as though I was watching another typical lesbian movie that was only focusing too much on the soft-core sex that happened throughout, which was frustrating and annoying to watch because there's so much more to it than just the sex that happens between two girls. This is something that you'll commonly see in so many LGTBQ+ movies as well that it's just getting annoying to constantly see. From what I understood, the conversion of trying to turn Cameron back into a heterosexual caused her to only become even more sexually frustrated. Additionally, the part that puzzled me the most was including a suicide scene towards the end, and we're left with zero answers after that. There were other parts to the film that were left unanswered as well. Abrupt situations (the suicide, the running away etc.) disturbed the narrative flow. Overall, the movie could've done a whole lot better.
