- Artistic theatre-style depiction of great tragedy.An absorbing film. Very clever and unusually depicted story-telling. It wasn't obvious what the great drama was going to turn out to be and I was guessing who was who for quite some time. Surreal and very well acted drama which you can see was a stage play originally.

- Beautiful and gripping movieThis is one of the most unusual and fascinating movies I've seen in recent years.

- 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. ...
