Review of Naked as We Came (2013) by Roxanne R — 14 Nov 2014
Usually most of the gay films I have seen are upbeat, hilarious, amusing but this one is depressing and sad because it explores an undeniable fact that will happen to all: DEATH. A dying mother (Lilly played by S.
Lue McWilliams) living with a male helper named Ted (B. Weaver) is visited by her son Elliot (Ryan Vigilant) and her daughter Laura (Karmine Alers). Immediately they suspect that Ted is wants to take advantage of their frail mother.
As the film goes on we see the family dynamics taking place with the dying Lily instructing her children not to "sweat the small stuff" and declaring that "we all leave the same way we came in .
.. naked and alone." Two words that stand out from this film: TRY and SING. You will understand once you watch the film but let me warn you that it is depressing and sad.
