Synopsis
Chloë Grace Moretz stars as Cameron, a typical 1990s teenager who gets in trouble on prom night. Only in her case, “trouble” means hooking up with another girl in the back seat of a car – and it lands her in a gay conversion therapy center. While the dubious facility attempts to cure Cameron’s same-sex attraction through outlandish discipline and Christian karaoke, it also offers her something new: a community of fellow sinners, outcasts, and peers. Surrounded by intolerance, these teenagers form a family built on love and acceptance. Adapted from Emily Danforth’s acclaimed novel by writer/director Desiree Akhavan and co-writer Cecilia Frugiuele, the film earned the U.S. Grand Jury Prize at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

Atom User Reviews
Please please read the book first they do miss on a couple of key elements that will leave you confused if you do not read it first
Metacritic
The film is at its best when evoking the painful labor of adolescent self-discovery, a process — as rendered here — that is not unlike a butterfly struggling to emerge from a chrysalis.
The film's refusal to produce a campy critique feels more like the product of lack of imagination than a purposeful repudiation.
This is a film about Cameron’s core personhood, and how it stands up to concentrated efforts to transform it, and it’s told with quiet steeliness and grace.
