Excellent work by the cast and an even handed approach makes this an enjoyable film. Everyone was shown to have flaws, some more severe than others but all were recognizable people with good intentions.

The only real surprise of this movie is its tenderness. Once the story is laid out, you know what's going to happen. However it has solid characters and good acting. I wasn't bored.

Save Me doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. It takes a more nuanced humanistic approach.

It wasn't anything phenomenal but I liked it for what it was and it did some neat camera work.

This is very corny. Two gay men find each other, triumphing over suicide, drug addiction, and homophobia. There's absolutely nothing deeper, or less obvious.

A lot better than I thought it was going to be, but I would have liked to of seen more of the personal accounts in the one-on-one councling.

The most emotionally draining thing I have ever experienced....in a good way! Very timely. Chad Allen will absolutely blow you away. Judith Light's monologue at the end will leave you crying for days...the part was tailor written for her, and it shows.
Be assured that it is not... read more -

Critic Reviews
A melodrama better suited to the Logo network than to theaters. Full Review
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'. Full Review
Save Me doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. It takes a more nuanced humanistic approach. Full Review
This is a modest, thoughtful, independent production of exceptional insight and quietly devastating power. Full Review
Sounds like a great idea for a gay porno, but the soapy Save Me actually takes itself seriously. Full Review
Even those of us who find anti-homosexual 'deprogramming' to be hideously intolerant and naive may find ourselves oddly relieved that Mark is there. Full Review
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.
There are heroes, battles and triumphs -- but no villains -- in Save Me, a thoughtful, nuanced drama about guilt-stricken gay men trying to fix their 'sexual brokenness' at a Christian recovery house. Full Review
Interesting, provocative film about one of the most polarizing issues in our culture. Full Review
