Cheryl C @RT23962228 Sep 30 Having grown up in a small Southern Baptist church in the 60's and 70's I now consider myself an atheist due to their very special Christian love aka hate. I did enjoy the show very much and the performances were spot on.

This is a very thoughtful, deep expression of the process of growing up in a Baptist church. Excellent acting, singing. You will feel all the feels...laughter and tears included. Cathartic!

See more 07/12/2017 The pieces of the play fit together a little too neatly, but "Southern Baptist Sissies" has many powerful displays of heavy emotion, building to a cathartic climax. See more 01/16/2015 For some reason, I had been expecting a comedy musical in the style of The Book of Mormon. Boy -- was I wrong! This is a serious play (with many comedic moments) about the isolation of gays in society and injustice imposed by religion. It is undoubtedly the most effective translation of a live play to film that I have ever seen, and for that, the director gets big points. Although I was slow to warm to it, I did eventually become invested in the characters and was moved nearly to tears by the end. It has an excellent script with some very fine acting, particularly from the veteran actors. I recommend this film to those who are not uncomfortable with challenging their beliefs, culture and religion. See more 11/19/2014 Loved the play. Loved the film. Del Shores is a genius and this is his masterpiece. The bar scenes with Leslie Jordan and Dale Dickey are an acting master class. See more Read all reviews
