Lilies Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Britinmiami I really loved this movie. This was a tale well told and the acting was very impressive. I felt like I was watching a high quality play on Broadway! Brent Carver was brilliant and the whole cast wonderful. Very interesting to stick with a male cast, but it worked! At times you almost forgot that there were no women in this movie! The casting was superb and I thought the eye candy was excellent and they could act! The movie managed to create a wonderful environment that gave off a terrific atmosphere.The story was so intriguing and kept you on the edge of your seat. I thought this was a really wonderful tale told extremely well and what a treat!
kinophil-1 I am writing mainly because the one comment I saw on this site was negative. I just watched the movie and it was gorgeous. Gorgeous scenery. Gorgeous men. Wonderful music. Jason Cadieux is gorgeous beyond words.The movie is quite obviously set in a prison where there would be a lack of women. It is quite artistic. The use of men to play women is both campy, and artsy, hearkening back to Shakespeare. It is not done to get laughs however.The twist in the movie is that the man who is to give his confession, hears a confession. It ends in a way that you must make up your mind about the punishment.
juhakylmala This movie is absolutely my favorite, it moves my soul so much that i can´t even describe it... I was so astonished about this because i never believed that anyone could do movie like this. It was so touching , even i´we seen Lilies 20 times it make me cry every time.
ckmercuri This film stands out in my collection as the most beautiful gay love story on film so far. It's lyrical story-telling is accented by it's Romeo & Juliet-inspired forbidden love theme, while avoiding any political message that plagues today's current stream of gay love stories. With it's gorgeous location, haunting sound-track and surreal moments of simple tenderness, Lilies succeeds at simply being a beautiful film.
