tough, tight, and thought-provoking, a small-scale indie success for everyone involved.

Reviews for Save Me
As a movie, it doesn't amount to much more than an after school-special with sex and profanity.
12/19/08
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 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
The first release from the gay-oriented Mythgarden production company, Save Me still bodes well for its evenhanded approach.
11/07/08
Top CriticWhile Save Me does seem like a TV movie, it is refreshingly honest and heartfelt.

Top CriticA melodrama better suited to the Logo network than to theaters.
10/18/08
Top CriticHere after a long dry spell is an example of queer filmmaking at its best. Hallelujah my gay brethren!
10/13/08
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 CriticSave Me doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. It takes a more nuanced humanistic approach.
10/03/08
Top CriticA film that stands the best chance of winning the hearts and minds of those who now embrace the gay 'recovery' movement.
10/03/08
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
This is a modest, thoughtful, independent production of exceptional insight and quietly devastating power.
09/19/08
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
An emotionally powerful drama with the potential to build bridges of understanding between gays and the Religious Right.
09/13/08
Where other films would have demonized Christians outright, Save Me presents a world where gays and Christians can go their separate ways while wishing each other well.
09/05/08
Sounds like a great idea for a gay porno, but the soapy Save Me actually takes itself seriously.
