Dorian Blues covers extremely familiar territory, but does so with low-key wit and ingratiating charm.
Its smarmy resolution just doesn't work; the lessons learned are a bit too medicinal. But we're willing to forgive, since it's otherwise a good-natured and enjoyable ride.
With its moments of comic relief overly exaggerated and at odds with its realistic tone, Dorian Blues is at its best at its most serious.
Bardwell manages a sincere portrait of what it's like to be young and closeted.
The movie's third act goes astray as the storyline shifts to Dorian's dating problems, which seem an overextended tangent to his coming-out story. Still, the film has a lot of playful dialogue and pixillated montages.
The buoyant McMillan is a charming presence, but he's entirely miscast as a character described as moody and angry.
Has a terrible air of been-there/done-that.
