Rating: 4.5/5 -- A filmed staging of Del Shores' provocative stage play, this movie is an engaging exploration of the point where religion and sexuality collide in the American South. Full Review

... the ensemble does an excellent job of adjusting their performances for the cameras, with the young male leads delivering sensitive, well-modulated turns that keep us fully involved in their characters' fates. Full Review

Designated for a safe space containing a receptive audience, the play neither provokes nor challenges. It preaches to the choir instead of spreading the word. Full Review

Rating: C- -- To call it stagey is an understatement, since it is simply a filmed version of a performance of (Del Shores') play. As such, it is also overlong at 138 minutes without the benefit of an intermission and comes across as preachy and pedantic. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The pieces of the play fit together a little too neatly, but "Southern Baptist Sissies" has many powerful displays of heavy emotion, building to a cathartic climax. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

"Southern Baptist Sissies" is a film of the theatrical experience of writer/director Del Shores' GLAAD Award-winning play about four gay boys growing up in the Southern Baptist church. It exposes the conflict between the abrasive rhetoric of dogmatic religion and the fragile development of adolescent homosexuality while challenging hypocrisy, uncovering damage and giving hope. The intimate experience of theatre on the film screen reveals the complicated emotions from all sides: the confused child, the struggling adolescent and the angry and flawed adult. Blu-ray features surround sound and English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired.
