Em 1993, a jovem Cameron Post é flagrada com outra garota no baile de formatura. Ela é então enviada pela tia para um centro religioso que afirma curar jovens atraídos pelo mesmo sexo, mas para se submeter ou não ao suposto tratamento, a adolescente precisa antes descobrir quem é de fato. Baseado no livro homônimo de Emily M. Danforth. (Pandora Filmes)

A pretty average coming-of-age film. The story about the re-education of a girl with lesbian tendencies flows exactly as you’d expect. Her confrontations with the fanatical Christian counselors are occasionally interesting but lack depth. Mostly, it’s just about being told that being gay is a sin, which the main characters largely ignore. They aren't broken by it and simply adapt to the regime and resist the pressure. The film feels somewhat unnecessary, much like the efforts of the religious zealots trying to eradicate the "evil" from these confused teens. The message is clear but feels outdated in today’s world where most people no longer look down on homosexuality, especially when presented this bluntly. If the goal was to show how tough it was for young homosexuals in the 90s, it could have been done with much more urgency and without pulling punches. As it stands, despite the serious subject matter, it felt too laid-back.
