Lilies

One of the best stage to screen adaptations in the history of cinema with a sensational performance by the late Brent Carver.

I return to this film again and again. John Greyson did a brilliant job adapting this play for the screen. I love the story. I love the performances. "Lilies" is so beautifully crafted. A must see for anyone interested in queer cinema.

Extremely imaginative, extremely artistic, extremely creative and extremely compelling. The story was really intriguing, the direction was really imaginative, the way the plot presented to us was really artistic and what brought a freshness into the story. It was really good, I enjoyed every second of this Canadian film.

This is art at its finest. I absolutely loved this film. It is so intelligent and ambitious - The movement from present to past, prison to memory was breathtakingly well done. Oh, wow. The acting was top notch; I was completely absorbed by the characters. It raises interesting perspectives as it relates to a whole whack of topics and forces audiences to think critically about them. One or two minor plot flaws that didn't quite fit in with the story as a whole, but easy to overlook in favour of this art piece.

Beautiful queer Canadian film directed by John Greyson.

Brilliant filmmaking

Traumatically bizarre.

Lilies, the symbol of opportunities and innocence.

Dramatic and beautiful and one of the most underrated films I've ever come across.

like 'bent', stage drama on film, not for me. looks like it would be liked a lot by those who enjoy the genre. the cast believed in what they were doing.
