The Miseducation of Cameron Post Reviews
Add it all up and what we have is a coming-of-age tale as emotionally resonant as it is brutally important.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2024
While Moretz is at her best, this really is the Akhavan show, whose work here is accomplished, measured and rock-steady.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2021
Nail[s] the intricacies of emotional abuse in such terrible detail, while muted by pastel colours of Akhavan's narrative zaniness.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 30, 2021
...this is a poignant and involving drama to a point. But it's also low-key to a fault...

The story may be simplistic but director/co-writer Desiree Akhavan still manages to make it mesmerizing by finding a balance of drama and surprising humor.

Moretz delivers a powerhouse performance in a movie that brings a surprising degree of nuance to a story that could easily have played as a straight polemic.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 14, 2020
Refreshingly, this coming-of-age story never really traces a journey of self-discovery but rather marks a burgeoning awareness of self-affirmation.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 3, 2020
It's as quiet and observational as Cameron herself and, like the works of [Sofia] Coppola, operates in a careful balance of droll humor and silent drama.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2020
Miseducation offers a talented cast giving compelling performances, but the film never quite lives up to its potential due to its predictable screenplay.

Desiree Akhavan's first film, Appropriate Behaviour, was a ramshackle joy, and her follow-up, The Miseducation of Cameron Post, is even better. Already, Akhavan seems to have come into her own as a filmmaker. [TOP 50 FILMS OF THE DECADE]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2019
The problem is that Desiree Akhavan and the screenwriter Cecilia Frugiuele... do not seem too interested in investigating the complex relationship between sexuality and identity. [Full review in Spanish]

[Director] Desiree Akhavan... redefines with simplicity and ingenuity the existential crisis of a young woman who is unable to accept the cultural context just as it is. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 8, 2019
The film applies humor from a sophisticated and puzzled look on this microcosm that are gay conversion religious camps. [Full Review in Spanish]

The result is graceful and honest. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 1, 2019
Think about what you're trying to do to me.
| Jun 5, 2019
Its quietness shouldn't be mistaken for carelessness as it defiantly drives home how barbaric this idea of changing one's true self is.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 4, 2019
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is set in 1993, a quarter-century ago, yet it feels current.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 16, 2019
