Film Review from page 6
in the eyes of the Lord, which does not bode
well for Cameron being that she likes girls.
When she is caught engaging in sexual activity
with her secret girlfriend on prom night,
Cameron’s life is instantly turned upside down
as she is immediately sent to God’s Promise,
a gay conversion therapy school run by Reverend
Rick (John Gallagher, Jr.) and Dr. Lydia
Marsh (Jennifer Ehle). This “school” claims to
cure “SSA,” or “Same Sex Attraction” through
Christian teaching.
Luckily, like Cameron, not all of the
students – or disciples, as the school calls
them – are on the same page with the school’s
mission. Cameron quickly finds kinship in
rebellious classmates Jane (Sasha Lane)
and Adam (Forrest Goodluck), who smoke
poorly-grown pot and eye-roll their way
through the school’s stream of hokey activities
-- like worksheets and collage art therapy
-- intended to trace back to events in the
students’ lives which “caused them to be
gay.” It’s evident that no one at God’s Promise
wants to be at God’s Promise, but Cameron
and her new friends rely on each other to get
through this process as relatively unscathed
as possible.
Chloë Grace Moretz is subtle yet astounding
in the title role. The authenticity she delivers
as a teen struggling with her sexual identity
proves she was absolutely the perfect casting
choice, and she doesn’t shy away from the
movie’s more demanding scenes of physicality
with other women. Her vulnerability in this
role makes it easy for audiences to see just
how awful this experience is for those who
are forced to partake in it (fortunately, as was
reported at the post-screening Q&A, more and
more states are beginning to outlaw conversion
therapy in growing numbers). John Gallagher,
Jr. as the conflicted Rev. Rick especially
shines in his role. “Rick eating cereal” was
the movie’s scene-stealing moment. Also, Ehle
as the domineering school leader gives another
brilliant performance.
Since the release of her debut feature, Appropriate
Behavior, Akhavan has shown that the
ambitions of her artistry have grown in the last
four years. Back then, it seemed like a plausible
assumption that she would continue to work in
niche hipster fare and follow in the footsteps
of Lena Dunham’s style of trendy filmmaking.
But with this project, she proves that she
has much bigger aspirations as well as skills.
Akhavan has created a film that is appealing
to everyone and specifically meaningful to the
young LGBTQ community. The Miseducation
of Cameron Post serves as a beacon of light
for anyone struggling with aspects of their
lives and proves that being true to yourself is
the only way to live. •

Charles Mallory from front page
proved to be unfounded. Regardless, Mallory
was hooked for good when it came to his
desire to pursue a path in IT.
Upon settling into his office at City
Hall, Mallory has hit the ground running
and already has a game plan in mind. “I
believe the organization is on the right
track with the City’s strategic plan and technology
master plan,” he said. “In the short
term, I will meet with stakeholders to better
understand their challenges, and adjust the
plan based on feedback. I will perform an
assessment of the technical infrastructure,
take a look at our resources versus budget
and work with the Technology Committee and
departments to execute agreed-upon priorities.
The longer-term goal is to ensure significant
progress on the technology master plan, while
looking into the future for opportunities to
innovate, plan and continuously streamline
city services.”
As is the case with any department, budgetary
constraints remain the greatest challenge
in accomplishing goals moving forward.
Mallory hopes to optimize technology solutions
that provide the greatest positive impact
to city services. “Other challenges will be
managing competing priorities, as we cannot
do everything we need in the first year,”
he explained.
Asked to assess how the new job is going,
Mallory indicated it was so far, so good and
he was pleased with the start. “I am impressed
with city staff, as they are dedicated to continuous
improvement and providing the best
services possible,” he said. “Staff has received
me with open arms and many are supportive
and optimistic about the new department and
the challenges ahead.”
Single with a 28-year-old daughter who is
pursuing her passion as a stylist for a fashion
magazine company in New York, Mallory
lives in Long Beach and enjoys golfing and
hiking when he has free time. A believer in
giving back to the community, he has long
mentored underprivileged kids. He hopes to
make an impact in El Segundo. “As a kid, I
occasionally rode my bike through El Segundo
going to and from the beach,” he recalled. “I
was always fascinated with the community
and the small town feel – neighborhoods
where you actually know and speak to your
neighbors. El Segundo manages to maintain
this small town feel while engaging and
understanding the needs of big and small
businesses alike. This dichotomy uniquely
positons the city for a great future. I am
honored and excited by this opportunity and
look forward to working with the team and
serving the citizens of El Segundo.” •
“Health is the greatest gift,
contentment the greatest wealth,
faithfulness the best relationship.”
