Dorian Blues (2004) follows the trials and tribulations of Dorian (Michael McMillan) a young man struggling to come to terms with his (wait for it. . . .) sexuality. In a home filled with an overbearing, opinionated father (Steven C. Fletcher), an oblivious mother (Mo Quigley), and a jock, football hero, younger brother (Lea Coco), Dorian suddenly realizes one night why he’s different. The film has some hilarious moments and the younger brother’s (sometimes misguided) support is great. Well worth watching as Dorian tries therapy, religion, and just plain snarkiness to deal with his problems.
