Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The first release from the gay-oriented Mythgarden production company, Save Me still bodes well for its evenhanded approach.
A melodrama better suited to the Logo network than to theaters.
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'.
Save Me doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. It takes a more nuanced humanistic approach.
