Dorian Blues

Witty, knowing and immensely entertaining, Dorian Blues is a delightfully off-kilter coming-of-age tale from debut writer-director Tennyson Bardwell.

Adolescence is proving a pain for Dorian (Michael McMillian). He's an outcast and the butt of classmates' fag jokes at high school and his football hero brother (Lea Coco) is constantly rescuing him. But everything finally begins to make sense when he realizes that he's gay. Before his arch-conservative dad (Steven C. Fletcher, in a hilarious role) can throw him out of the house, he's off to NYU where he encounters a new world of cafes, sophisticates and handsome men, but this life proves just as frustrating as his world back home.

    Quirky and Well Written

    I enjoyed Dorian Blues. I didn't really have great expectations for it, but was pleasantly surprised.

    For what it is, it's well written and well acted by the lead characters. It's quite funny in parts, mainly due to Dorian's quick wit and dry sense of humour.

    Definitely worth a watch.

    Good

    Some witty one-liners and the joys of coming out when you are a self-loathing, angry young man. It's funnier then it sounds
