Search - Surreder Dorothy on DVD Audio

Dark, edgy, and fantastic

"The first feature film by Kevin Dinovis... who wrote, directed, edited, and starred in this haunting portrayal of eerie co-dependence. As Trevor, actor Peter Prior gives a startingly disturbing performance of a man driven to destruction due to his fear of women. Dinovis, who plays Lahn/Dorothy, turns in a obsessively needy drug-addled performance.If you like your movies dark, twisted, edgy, sexually gritty, and with an ending that allows you to draw your own conclusions... this one is definitely for you."

Unseen classic

"Its hard believe this award-winning film didn't get more exposure. A darkly comic and disturbing tale of sexual frustration and physical and mental abuse. It may not sound like "fun" but this film is deeply captivating. Hopefully it will get more exposure now that it is on DVD."

What fun

"Wow. I watched this movie expecting to maybe not finish it. This story has never been told before as far as I know. The black and white heightened the effect of the movie. Poor Dorothy. My friends liked it like I did, both men and women. When we talked about it after the movie, but we all liked and cringed at different places. What a fun discussion we had afterwards. Not for children and probably not for all adults. If you have a weak stomach this might not be for you, but it is fun. I very much recommend this movie for people that are not looking for the same story that we've all seen over and over again."

Not a "gay" film

"Surrender Dorothy is a study of the world of sexual depravity and abuse, NOT homosexuality. Anyone calling this a "gay" movie is, in essence, alleging that homosexual males are depraved."
