Story
Save Me Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Allen brings such conviction to the part that it's almost possible to look past the gaps in Mark's development. In the end, you may not buy each step he takes, but you respect Allen's attempt to make the effort seem genuine.
Washington City Paper
Tricia Olszewski
A be-true-to-yourself message prevails, one that can be safely stretched to it's-OK-to-be-gay. But the film never definitely takes the stand that homosexuals can't be 'converted.'
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The first release from the gay-oriented Mythgarden production company, Save Me still bodes well for its evenhanded approach.
Oregonian
Stan Hall
While Save Me does seem like a TV movie, it is refreshingly honest and heartfelt.
Chicago Tribune
Maureen M. Hart
A melodrama better suited to the Logo network than to theaters.
Windy City Times
Richard Knight
Here after a long dry spell is an example of queer filmmaking at its best. Hallelujah my gay brethren!
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
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'.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Save Me doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. It takes a more nuanced humanistic approach.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
A film that stands the best chance of winning the hearts and minds of those who now embrace the gay 'recovery' movement.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
The film refuses to follow any one strand of political logic, and as such exists on an insufficient amount of thematic oxygen to support its loaded dramatic context.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
This is a modest, thoughtful, independent production of exceptional insight and quietly devastating power.
L.A. Weekly
Chuck Wilson
Light, best known for her TV-sitcom work, turns a clich -- the zealot with a secret pain of her own -- into an achingly sad woman; it's one of the year's best performances.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An emotionally powerful drama with the potential to build bridges of understanding between gays and the Religious Right.
Christianity Today
Peter T. Chattaway
Where other films would have demonized Christians outright, Save Me presents a world where gays and Christians can go their separate ways while wishing each other well.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Sounds like a great idea for a gay porno, but the soapy Save Me actually takes itself seriously.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
A solid performance by the often underrated Judith Light lends considerable weight to this melodrama's controversial subject.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Even those of us who find anti-homosexual 'deprogramming' to be hideously intolerant and naive may find ourselves oddly relieved that Mark is there.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
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.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
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.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Until about two-thirds of the way in, Save Me plays its central hypothesis surprisingly, um, straight.
