About this product

Product Information

First-time director Tennyson Bardwell serves up a fresh entry in the coming out/coming of age genre with this movingly funny tale of a young man exploring his sexuality in the face of judgmental parents, siblings, and classmates. Dorian Lagatos (Michael McMillian) is just finishing high school, where his classmates suspect he's gay but generally ignore him. Daunted by his arch-conservative father, Dorian suppresses his urges and pursues the status quo, planning to escape to college in New York. But suddenly, with the assistance of a therapist, a priest, and a momentous first boyfriend, Dorian comes into his own--and comes out to his family, his friends, and the world.Starring Michael McMillian from the teen hit television series WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, DORIAN BLUES draws from director Bardwell's real-life experience. When Bardwell began college, he had no exposure to gay life or people. He began a close friendship with an openly gay classmate, and that friendship inspired the film. With his friend serving as the model for Dorian, Bardwell has created a funny, sad film that speaks to the universal experience of finding oneself.

  • Great humor but poignant at times

    I enjoyed the film because it has a lot of great humor. I guess it falls into the cliched "coming of age" category. I like the relationship between the two brothers (Michael McMillian and Lee Coco). It even goes as far as to show that as great as things can be at times there can still be moments of jealously and resentment. Sort of like real life. We see what it's like to finally be away from home, the crush you're not interested in, first love, love lost, the "stalker" phase. The relationship with the father (Steve Fletcher) is strained mostly due to his favoritism, inflexibility and belief that his are the only valid opinions. Though she doesn't go as far as to actually apologize, the mother (Mo Quigly) does accept responsibility for the part she played in her denial and avoidance of issues. I highly recommend watching this film even though it isn't all laughs and giggles, there are somber and serious parts, but I consider the humor to be some of the best I've seen. Perhaps a bit too sarcastic at points for some to appreciate but I enjoy sarcasm. I was particularly impressed with the performance of the actor (Ben Paul) who portrayed the social worker and was disappointed he didn't have a bigger role. I say give it shot, I'm sure we've all seen better and worse but I don't think you'll feel like you've made a wrong choice with this film.

  • A must see.

    I had never heard of this movie when i bought it. I got it on a cold rainy Saturday and decided to just relax and watch it. It was a wonderful heart wrenching movie and was more than i expected. I found myself watching it 3 times over and over in that one afternoon. It is wonderful. Very recommended.
