	Media	Author	Review
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is a delight (...) Akhavan elicits finely layered performances from her cast. Moretz digs deeper than she has in years for a sensitive lead turn that harmonizes especially well with her co-stars."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A humble, poignant, and extremely touching coming-of-age drama (...) It beautifully articulates the need for young people to realize the validity of who they are"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Navigating troubled culture-war waters with grace, humor and compassion, 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post' is a movie that deserves a wide and diverse audience."
		Peter Debruge Variety	"For adults, 'Miseducation' may seem overly simplistic, and yet, to young-adult audiences, the story’s many clichés ought to resonate"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Dramatic tension drains away as the film resorts to tired YA tropes from unrequited love to unexpected tragedy in order to gin up excitement (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"An earnest and affecting drama that, for the most part, avoids caricature and melodrama (...) [It] more often opts for nuance than burlesque, and that is its strength (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"Cameron’s fellow students and the performances from the actors who portray them are probably the best part of the movie (...) Moretz is as good as she can be with the material"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[It] is anchored by a strong performance by Chloe Grace Moretz (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"This is a gripping and sad drama (...) 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post' will be a panacea for gay kids for years to come (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Akhavan’s film demonstrates a wry sense of humour (...) Borrowing from familiar, accessible genres, Akhavan gives 'Miseducation' a crowd-pleasing tone"
