Allen brings such conviction to the part that it's almost possible to look past the gaps in Mark's development. In the end, you may not buy each step he takes, but you respect Allen's attempt to make the effort seem genuine.

Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

The first release from the gay-oriented Mythgarden production company, Save Me still bodes well for its evenhanded approach.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten

A melodrama better suited to the Logo network than to theaters.

Maureen M. Hart, Chicago Tribune

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'.

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

Save Me doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. It takes a more nuanced humanistic approach.

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
