Movie Reviews

Movie Dearest - 8/10 by Fr. Chris CarpenterTo call it stagey is an understatement, since it is simply a filmed version of a performance of (Del Shores') play. As such, it is also overlong at 138 minutes without the benefit of an intermission and comes across as preachy and pedantic.
Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank Scheck... the ensemble does an excellent job of adjusting their performances for the cameras, with the young male leads delivering sensitive, well-modulated turns that keep us fully involved in their characters' fates.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric KExcellent film for most gay men who grew up raised as Southern Baptists. The emotional turmoil and struggles depicted perfectly. Funny and sad, just a great movie with a powerful message.
User Review - 10/10 by Sue BAn important movie about life and love and truth.
User Review - 10/10 by David NLOVED IT, LIKE THE FACT THAT IS WAS A TAPED LIVE PERFORMANCE.
User Review - 10/10 by Lee HLove this movie! Having grown up in the church, it hit home. It is a must see for all!
User Review - 10/10 by Cynthia SLoved the play. Loved the film. Del Shores is a genius and this is his masterpiece. The bar scenes with Leslie Jordan and Dale Dickey are an acting master class.
User Review - 10/10 by Christian CFor some reason, I had been expecting a comedy musical in the style of The Book of Mormon. Boy -- was I wrong! This is a serious play (with many comedic moments) about the isolation of gays in society and injustice imposed by religion. It is undoubtedly the most effective translation of a live play to film that I have ever seen, and for that, the director gets big points. Although I was slow to warm to it, I did eventually become invested in the characters and was moved nearly to tears by the end. It has an excellent script with some very fine acting, particularly from the veteran actors. I recommend this film to those who are not uncomfortable with challenging their beliefs, culture and religion.
User Review - 8/10 by Dixon MSouthern Baptist Sissies takes on a tricky subject and handles it nicely. The play is very well written, never making the easy choice of parody. Instead, Southern Baptist Sissies is populated by real characters: people I have known. The church pastor and members are sincere. They are, perhaps, attached to dogma that could be examined more thoroughly, but they are not hypocrites. The pastor's polemics are real. The sermon fragments in the play are words I heard frequently as a Southern Baptist youth. There are dialogs in the play that illustrate how Southern Baptists emphasize Bible verses that condemn homosexuality while ignoring adjacent scriptures on other subjects, but this is done artfully. The film does not come across as preachy. This is accomplished in part by using two long-lapsed Southern Baptists, Peanut (Leslie Jordan) and Odette (Dale Dickey), to provide comic relief when things start to get serious. It's a great technique. The film uses a laugh track to tell the audience where the jokes are. I wish this had not been the choice. I think the audience is more intelligent than this indicates, and the laughs in the laugh track sometimes didn't fit the humor (guffaws for a joke that deserved a chuckle). The film also sometimes used disturbing imagery to illustrate the intersection of religion and sexuality. While these images had shock value, they will offend many. I think this may lessen the film's effectiveness. All-in-all, this was a very good film, and well worth my time. It is a pity that it is unlikely to reach an audience of active Southern Baptists. I have never seen a film that more effectively portrays someone like me: a former Southern Baptist who bears the denomination no ill will but who can never go there again.
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MThe pieces of the play fit together a little too neatly, but "Southern Baptist Sissies" has many powerful displays of heavy emotion, building to a cathartic climax.
