Movie Reviews

JWR - 8/10 by S. James Wegg... the story of lust, love and betrayal intriguingly bemoans racism and prejudice of bygone times while peppering the 'history' with more modern references ...
Jam! Movies - 7/10 by Liz BraunThe problem with Proteus is that the issues tend to overwhelm the story, and one is never fully engaged in the narrative.
Globe and Mail - 7/10 by Jason AndersonGrounded by the stark physicality of the location and the emotional charge generated by those prison-bound passions (Jean Genet would have approved).
Village Voice - 6/10 by Michael AtkinsonIs it a movie or the best-designed episode of Nova ever?
Boxoffice Magazine - 6/10 by Bridget ByrneAn intelligently rendered film (shot on video) that doesn't seek to make its central characters overtly sympathetic even as it stresses the human rights so thoughtlessly or deliberately denied them.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanA challenging, flawed look at a little-known slice of history.
New York Times - 4/10 by Dave KehrA heavy, pretentious and derivative film.
L.A. Weekly - 3/10 by Chuck WilsonCarries an air of forced-wit experimentation that never quite gets its anachronisms in order.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 3/10 by Donald J. LevitHomophobia and hyprocisy, history and legend, racism and jealousy, cruelty and love all figure in -- and prove too much.
User Review - 10/10 by David BJohn Greyson is another favourite director and I may have to add Lilies to my movie list. This is a beautiful love story and a favourite because it's about South Africa. And prison. I enjoy prison movies. A very sad film.
