Memorable, crazy movie
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Alhough Dorian Blues does have a light comedy vibe to it, it is pretty much sad that he never got a chance to reconnect properly to his father before he died of a heart attack. I have to say though, it was pretty reliving at the same time because like, the father didn't accept Dorian for who he is and he was pretty much an old fashioned wh*re. The mother didn't help which was absouletely disgraceful if you ask me! Unfortunately, some daughters and sons out there don't have accepting parents which I have to say is pretty much a shame in the 21st century!Dorian even had the worst luck to come for him, he found out after he broke up with a guy he met while in N.Y., then decided to date his best friend. I was really heartbroken for Dorian that he never got himself a true partner in the end, like he is such a sweet caring guy who deserves love! Even if the brother acts like such a frat boy, he really did stuck up for Dorian all the way. Now there were sibling fights throughout but Nicky really did care for his brother. Although I say he was mixing himself up with accepting the father but also accepting his brother. So I guess you can say he was in the middle of all of this, whereas the mother just went along with the dad said!Very good gay drama even though it was sad and does based off of real life scenarios of family unacceptance. Well done to all involved even if it was 14 years ago since this was made (crazy!)
I will keep it short since most users have already elaborated the details: it is a gem of a movie. The acting, script, direction, and even the scope of the plot are simply captivating. Not a single dull moment. The story comes full circle, there are no clichés, and the viewer's intelligence is respected. Like all excellent comedies, more is secretly conveyed through humor than drama ever can. Filled with laugh out loud moments. I don't want to give out too many details, but is not just about coming out, but growing out.8 out of 10 -- tempted to give a 9 and 10 does not exist in my book. I'm writing this right after watching it.
This one is a real winner. Enjoyable enough to make me watch it twice in the same day. An actual comedy that made me laugh. Very well-written. Exceptionally cast and acted. This is a feel good movie.. I have no equivalent term for chick flick for a gay guy flick that isn't remotely unacceptable...but this is one of those. I watched this with a group of straight friends who loved it as much as me, laughed as hard as me and thought it was well worth the time, the popcorn and beer. I would love to see more films with this much thought about a gay subject with just as much realism as comedy. If you want to spend a little bit of an hour and half laughing your butt off... load this one up, bring in your friends... and just be prepared to have a dang good time.
OK. It's a small indy film with small indy production values. However, it is cleverly written and quite funny. I laughed through most of it. I will admit that the story line mirrors my own adolescence (20 years earlier than the time in the movie). So, I am prejudiced. Michael McMillian, brilliantly playing the intelligent gay boy who confronts the straight patriarchy with searing wit and flat affect, is simply spot on. His delivery is flawless. Steve Fletcher does a great job as the overbearing father who dotes on the jock of the family and tries to run down Dorian. The dynamic between these two characters is very well done. The characters are fairly well developed. The mother is a bit dimensionless, but maybe that was accurate too. Frankly, in its league of smaller gay films, this one really stands out.
