[Writer-director] Bardwell offers a cheerful, if sometimes strenuously earnest, take on a subject that seems overdue for a lighthearted touch.

Dorian Blues has wit, humor, good performances, and clever technique that catapults the film into the front ranks of coming-out movies.

Dorian Blues makes me yearn for the day that audiences have become so comfortable enough with this subgenre that a clever director can make a spoof in which many if not all of the conventions get lampooned.
December 2, 2005 | Rating: 2/4 -
Rarely feels fresh. It's special, but in an after-school sort of way.

While Bardwell's screenplay wobbles somewhat in tone, it displays enough wit and charm to compensate for its lack of polish.

The linchpin relationship is the underlying deep bond between the two brothers, and the scenes between McMillian and Coco are well written and equally well played.

It's a sweet and likable movie, if not an expert one, and a respectable entry in the genre.

Mar 15, 2015Low-budget with decent acting and a pleasant script. It's nice that a light hand was applied to a film that could have been overwrought.Christian C Super Reviewer

Mar 13, 2011This movie was such a pleasure for me because I saw a lot of personal experience parallels. I had no brother but the story is made so much more fun because of the brother. Fun movie!Thomas J Super Reviewer

Nov 18, 2009Having recently watched what amounts to a seemingly endless parade of terrible excuses for GLBT Cinema, finally I have found a gem again and had my faith restored. <i>Dorian Blues</i> has obviously been made on the cheap but the incisive, relevant and realistic writing and winning lead performance (Michael McMillian) help sell this touching film. Dorian's family is fairly typical in terms of this kind of film but the interactions between him and his elder brother and his complicated relationship with his father are deftly played and the confrontation at the end of the film by his friends and his mother both surprises and feels utterly accurate and doubly poignant for that. Dorian himself is a fantastic character - quick witted but not selfish with it, he is friendly, charming, slightly goofy but with an undercurrent of quiet rage that he does not have an outlet for. This is a quietly brilliant film.Daniel P Super Reviewer

Dec 14, 2008Obviously low budget. Mediocre acting. Starts out promising and then becomes a soapy bunch of whiners feeling sorry for themselves.Sunil J Super Reviewer
