John Oursler Village Voice 01/21/2014
As in too much queer cinema, Naked is weighed down by wooden, charisma-free hunks in leading roles, but McWilliams proves a revelation whose passionate performance more than compensates for the distracting eye candy. Go to Full Review
Joe Neumaier New York Daily News 09/12/2013
3/5
Writer and director Richard LeMay's film plays from the heart, sometimes almost too blatantly. But on the whole, it nicely underscores how silences and shouts often come from the same place. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Here is the way it should happen when a family says goodbye: Making peace. Making connections. Smelling the orchids. Seeing the light. Go to Full Review

See more 05/02/2015 The cover sums it up. Pretty chest & blank stares... of boredom? Probably. See more 03/01/2015 A family drama about siblings coming home to visit their mother and discovering she is much sicker than they knew. She has also taken in a roommate, a young man who serves as groundkeeper, cook, or maybe something else entirely. There is nothing too melodramatic in the movie. The primary movement is toward character growth, with revelations, bickering and reconciliations that are fairly predictable. The small ensemble does well with the material. I found Ryan Vigilant as Elliot especially captivating as the quiet gay son scarred by a familiy secret and how his family has treated him over the years, but finding in saying goodbye to his mother the means to take control over his own life.
