Entertainment Reviews:
[Writer-director] Bardwell offers a cheerful, if sometimes strenuously earnest, take on a subject that seems overdue for a lighthearted touch.

Rarely feels fresh. It's special, but in an after-school sort of way.

Boston Globe
While Bardwell's screenplay wobbles somewhat in tone, it displays enough wit and charm to compensate for its lack of polish.
Hollywood Reporter
The linchpin relationship is the underlying deep bond between the two brothers, and the scenes between McMillian and Coco are well written and equally well played.

Rating: 3/5 --
Dorian Blues fits tidily into a genre of first-time films in which the main gay character comes of age and out of the closet.
New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
McMillian and the big Coco are excellent, and Fletcher makes something scarily comical of dad's hardball glares and proudly Nixonian grievances.

Product Description:
First-time director Tennyson Bardwell serves up a fresh entry in the coming out/coming of age genre with this movingly funny tale of a young man exploring his sexuality in the face of judgmental parents, siblings, and classmates. Dorian Lagatos (Michael McMillian) is just finishing high school, where his classmates suspect he's gay but generally ignore him. Daunted by his arch-conservative father, Dorian suppresses his urges and pursues the status quo, planning to escape to college in New York. But suddenly, with the assistance of a therapist, a priest, and a momentous first boyfriend, Dorian comes into his own--and comes out to his family, his friends, and the world.
Starring Michael McMillian from the teen hit television series WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, DORIAN BLUES draws from director Bardwell's real-life experience. When Bardwell began college, he had no exposure to gay life or people. He began a close friendship with an openly gay classmate, and that friendship inspired the film. With his friend serving as the model for Dorian, Bardwell has created a funny, sad film that speaks to the universal experience of finding oneself.
