Come as you are.
Pennsylvania, 1993. After getting caught with another girl, teenager Cameron Post is sent to a conversion therapy center run by the strict Dr. Lydia Marsh and her brother, Reverend Rick, whose treatment consists in repenting for feeling “same sex attraction.” Cameron befriends fellow sinners Jane and Adam, thus creating a new family to deal with the surrounding intolerance.

Pretty solid film overall. The acting was really good, especially from Chloe Grace Moretz, John Gallagher, and Sasha Lane. Like others have said, I do wish they dove a little bit deeper. At some points it feels like they're only scratching the surface. I think the movie definitely could've benefited from being longer. Interesting perspective and glimpse into the crazy world that is conversion therapy centers.
Sensitively handled drama re the thorny subjet of gay conversion therapy. The Christians aren't portrayed as monsters, which as a Christian myself, I was kinda pleased about, and the teens are realistically played. Personally, I don't have time for conversion therapy - I think it can be damaging - and despite the judgement of some, I believe God loves us all, regardless of sexuality. It's a complicated subject and one that some in the church fail to get to the bottom of, and I hope this film is used as reflection for the subject matter. There are no easy answers.
The subject matter was cringe worthy. The acting was good. Not sure what audience they were shooting for. Christians will think it was overly simplistic. The queer community will be unsurprised. It really doesn’t add to the conversation between them. Despite the performances, I give this film a 5 out of 10. [Drama]
Chloë Grace Moretz and Sasha Lane are both great. The movie overall is pretty meh otherwise.
