Lilies Reviews
One of the best gay-themed films ever made!
This beautiful film is so lyrical, it's almost like watching a poem. Everything about this film works: the script, the directing, the cast, the look. This film gives new meaning to the gay feature film genre.
Based on a play, Lilies retains a stage feeling as the premise is a play-within-a-play. Whereas the audience is not required to use it's imagination as much while watching the film as it was when watching the play, the film does require an open mind and the ability to suspend disbelief. If you allow it, Lilies will take you on a very special ride as seldom films do or can.
The chemistry between Jason Cadieux (a much under-used young actor) and Danny Gilmore (mainly known from French-Canadian television) is remarkable, making their tragic love-story all the more moving. Special mention needs to be made to Tony Award-winner, Brent Carver, who's portrayal of the delusional Countess De Tilly is the stuff that Oscars should be made of.
A stunning piece of film-making, which should not be missed!
Worth watching this very good film if only for one magnificent scene
"Lilies" is a very intriguing film full of wonderful performances. It is a re-enactment of a series of events by some Canadian prisoners, and though all of the actors are men, several play female roles in the "play within the film." It takes about 30 seconds or less before you actually believe they are women, even though they do little to change their appearance, because the acting is so good. But there is one scene, probably not even a minute long, that is utterly transcendent, and that sublime moment alone is worth owning this DVD.
