Los Angeles Times
This is a modest, thoughtful, independent production of exceptional insight and quietly devastating power. - 75
TV Guide Magazine
A solid performance by the often underrated Judith Light lends considerable weight to this melodrama's controversial subject. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
Even those of us who find anti-homosexual ''deprogramming'' to be hideously intolerant and naive may find ourselves oddly relieved that Mark is there (in a Christian rehab center). - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
What's admirable about Save Me is that it grounds its religious and cultural debate not in vilifying one side but in sympathizing with both. - 70
Village Voice
Though Save Me never quite surmounts its schematic scenario, scene by scene, beat by beat, it's pretty damn good. - 63
Chicago Tribune
Allen and Gant are principals in Mythgarden, a movie production company that promotes gay and lesbian storytelling, and Save Me makes a respectable showing as an early effort. - 60
Variety
The first feature from new gay-focused production company Mythgarden, is a welcome exception in that it effectively dramatizes the issues without caricaturing or pillorizing either party.
