Dorian Blues

Witty, knowing and immensely entertaining, Dorian Blues is a delightfully off-kilter coming-of-age tale from debut writer-director Tennyson Bardwell. Adolescence is a pain for Dorian (Michael McMillian). He's an outcast and the butt of jokes at high school, and his football hero brother (Lea Coco) is constantly rescuing him. But everything finally begins to make sense when he realizes that he's gay. Before his arch-conservative dad (a hilarious turn by Steven C. Fletcher) can throw him out of the house, he's off to NYU and a new world of cafes, sophisticates and handsome men but this life proves just as frustrating as his world back home.
