Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Save Me doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. It takes a more nuanced humanistic approach.
– Ruthe Stein,

fresh:
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'.
– Carrie Rickey,
Philadelphia Inquirer,

rotten:
A melodrama better suited to the Logo network than to theaters.
– Maureen M. Hart,

fresh:
The first release from the gay-oriented Mythgarden production company, Save Me still bodes well for its evenhanded approach.

fresh:
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.
