The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018)
As good as the book
I've been reading reviews on here saying this is a remake of But I'm a Cheerleader and those reviewers thinking this film is a copy. However this is based on the book by Emily Danforth, a really spectacular book and I think the film follows suit. But I'm a Cheerleader was a strong comedy set on the foundation of drama by the theme of the film. The Miseducation of Cameron Post is primarily a drama with occasional chuckles provided by a well written script and delivered by a well rounded cast. Give it a try with an open mind, set aside comparing the two films and instead see how they really do compliment each other on the topic of gay conversion camps in the USA.
K-11 (2012)
Captivating from the word go.
I'm no film critic, a media student yes, but I've never written a review before, to be honest I've never needed to. Usually every film I come across can be expected to have hundreds of reviews by users on IMDb, most far better than any I could ever write. Disappointed by the lack I found when reading up on K-11, I decided it was time to watch the film, and share my experience.
I had the usual expectations going into this film in terms of the prison film genre. It's set in a prison, there will be violence, drugs and rape. There will be top dogs, underdogs, minions, and those just trying to survive. What I wasn't expecting from the directional debut of Jules Stewart was such a captivating story. The interesting scenario our main character Raymond Saxx finds himself in, the characters that surround him and the interesting dynamic of K-11 make for a sometimes difficult but ultimately rewarding experience. I found it an important tale to tell, unlike most films out there. It had thought and meaning behind it, and the actors truly brought the film to life. Would I recommend those of you curious about this film to watch it? That's a definite yes.
