It was well acted I guess but without spoiling much I was left wondering about the other characters. Over all the plot felt very simple and really left me wanting more.
I've been waiting for this movie for a really long time. I've heard it's gonna be similar to the movie 'But I'm a Cheerleader' and I can say that it is but only up to a point. It seems more mature. I don't know why but I expected more plot. I was a bit disappointed when it ended and I didn't feel like anything was resolved. The main character seems so lost and we usually expect her to find her way but she didn't.
On the other side, this movie is really important because it talks about homosexuality in more mature way. And this is maybe the first time they have actually shown an accurate depiction of what the religion really says about this topic. What I find also important is that it discusses the possible causes that led to the SSA.
All in all, it's not a complete waste of time but do not expect too much.
I am a 71 year old heterosexual woman and I loved it. It left me with a large lump in my throat so I went home to see what it was about. And big surprise it took me back to my high school years when I felt so frustrated, bored, trapped by the stupidity of what I was spending my days doing. Taking tests on regurgitated information that didn't interest me at all. I just cried the lump out that was a ball of similar feelings to the ones portrayed in the movie. This was outwardly worse and very poignant and it makes me understand why so many kids today are lost and angry. They are right to be angry. Who is caring for who they are- not who everyone wants them to be?
Thanks for your courageous movie. I think almost anyone could get something out of it.

I so wanted passionate screaming at these disgusting "Christians." Of course this was in 1993 when homosexuality was not acceptable to most straight people. I'm a straight 71 year old male who witnessed homophobia first hand and even accepted that as normal behavior. Then I had the privilege of getting to know some incredible gays, both male and female. They were far more moral than all of the Homophobic Christians I knew. This film focuses on Conversion Therapy which, extraordinarily, still exists today. It's incomprehensible to me that some people think being gay is a choice, is immoral or is a disease. Unfortunately, most people who don't understand the LGBTQ community will never see this film and those that do will most likely dismiss it as mere propaganda. Chloe Grace Moretz paints a compelling portrait of a teen subjected to this treatment and although she rebels to a degree the accepted values of the day stand in the way of her screaming her disgust at "authority."
There was no storyline. The main character had nothing to lose. A peripheral character lost a lot, but his character wasn't well developed enough for his loss to warrant anything more than an "Oh gross" and a small amount of pity. Add to this that the ending fell flat and you have a big "meh."

- TriviaDespite its positive reception and victory at the Sundance Film Festival, the film struggled for months to get picked up by a distributor. According to star Chloë Grace Moretz, the film was the first Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner in over 25 years to not receive immediate distribution (the prior film being Bryan Singer's Public Access (1993)). It was eventually purchased by FilmRise however it received a very limited theatrical run in only 85 theaters in North America.
- GoofsAfter Cam gets caught when Coley and Cameron are making out in the back seat of Cam's BF car, she is seen pulling up her black panties. BUT, just earlier when they were dancing she was wearing pantyhose (as she was all evening), so those would be down too, but they are not there.
