Top CriticUntil about two-thirds of the way in, Save Me plays its central hypothesis surprisingly, um, straight.
09/02/08
As a movie, it doesn't amount to much more than an after school-special with sex and profanity.
12/19/08
The film refuses to follow any one strand of political logic, and as such exists on an insufficient amount of thematic oxygen to support its loaded dramatic context.
09/20/08
...a lamentably uneven effort that's admirable in its intentions, but ultimately stifled by its myriad of flaws.
05/17/08
Too much of the film involves set pieces of two characters' awkward dialogue or a single one's halting monologue-confession about life problems.
09/05/08
Sounds like a great idea for a gay porno, but the soapy Save Me actually takes itself seriously.
09/05/08
Top CriticA melodrama better suited to the Logo network than to theaters.
10/18/08
Or rather, save us.
09/04/08
Never quite shaking off its aura of second-rate made-for-TV movie, this gay conversion melodrama has a lot of heart but little nerve and no surprise.
09/05/08
A be-true-to-yourself message prevails, one that can be safely stretched to it's-OK-to-be-gay. But the film never definitely takes the stand that homosexuals can't be 'converted.'
12/06/08
Screenwriters Robert Desiderio and Craig Chester build empathy without the usual partisan demonization or martyrdom, and the actors are intensely committed to that end.
09/03/08
This earnest, well-acted melodrama has compassion for all of its characters, who include gay men and the Christians dedicated to healing them of their 'brokenness'.
10/09/08
Top CriticLight, best known for her TV-sitcom work, turns a cliché -- the zealot with a secret pain of her own -- into an achingly sad woman; it's one of the year's best performances.
09/18/08
tough, tight, and thought-provoking, a small-scale indie success for everyone involved.
01/31/09
An emotionally powerful drama with the potential to build bridges of understanding between gays and the Religious Right.
09/13/08
Allen brings such conviction to the part that it's almost possible to look past the gaps in Mark's development. In the end, you may not buy each step he takes, but you respect Allen's attempt to make the effort seem genuine.
12/19/08
A solid performance by the often underrated Judith Light lends considerable weight to this melodrama's controversial subject.
