This 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!
Having 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. Dorian Blues has obviously been made on the cheap but the incisive, relevant and realistic writing and winnin... read more
Obviously low budget. Mediocre acting. Starts out promising and then becomes a soapy bunch of whiners feeling sorry for themselves.
A good movie. I love the end Quote when Dorian said. You know the worst thing my father ever did to me? He convinced me it matters what people think of you. And the truth is, they never think quite enough. So from then I started living my life no matter what they thought. Even wh... read more
A great movie. Funny. Michael McMillian plays a strong lead as a HS student who thinks he wants to come out and then thinks he wants to be straight. A confused teen, delightful comedy.
Good movie! The plot was a little lacking, but I feel that was a small price to pay for such good characters, good acting, and honest and enjoyable portrayal of a young gay man finding his way. I also really loved the pace - it never moves too slow or too fast. There was a lot... read more

Rarely feels fresh. It's special, but in an after-school sort of way. Full Review
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. Full Review
Dorian Blues fits tidily into a genre of first-time films in which the main gay character comes of age and out of the closet. Full Review
Somehow, Dorian's blues never really deepen past a chipper lilac. Full Review
Dorian Blues eschews the heavy sexual content (and most of the clichés) of so many gay films - - it also has a lot of heart.
This upstate New York coming-out saga will warm PFLAG hearts and kindle empathy in those who've had to tread the family-drama-churned waters of small-town gaydom. Full Review
Offers nothing special in outline, but sharp performances and writing lend it a fresh appeal well above this genre's average. Full Review
