The beginning was difficult with the strip club etc... but I liked the main character enough to give it a chance and glad I did. She gets herself into a better place and starts to figure out who she is and what she wants.

Mar 09, 2013 Tons of accolades to this film. Not as crazily in love with this movie as Newsday critic John Anderson who wrote: The gay coming-of-age story's been done, but "Pariah" has something fresh to say, largely about the knotty…

Amazingly 3-dimensional, and that's where you need to be as you watch it. Watch from all sides, watch each person, each as an important character with their own history, problems & perspectives. As the story becomes more emotional, it…

This was a really good portrayal of being different, accepting it and coming out to family and friends .Poignant and the dynamics with herself and her friends is one thing , then there is the dynamics of her parents . She is very close to…

I loved this film for the characters and the grace they show in dealing with difficult issues. The beginning is gritty and intense, but as the plot unfolds the players become more interesting, real, thoughtful and loveable. Highly…

I think this is my Lesbian movie debut if my memory serves me correctly.This is very slick and even bone chilling for a dike drama.It didn't really annoy me and i could easily watch this again however.It is well made and all of the…

This film was sensitively done, if a bit painful to watch at times. The mother was a tad too intense, perhaps. It's pretty easy to recognize this as a Spike Lee film. There's just something about the way Lee handles his characters.

Average lesbian romantic drama. This just dragged. Nothing happens. It's well acted and seems very authentic, but I just didn't care. Possibly opens eyes as to what coming out as a lesbian or the day to day life of a young black lesbian is…

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS FILM. I LIKED HOW THEY SHOWED EXACTLY HOW AGGRESSIVE LESBIANS LIVE THEIR LIVES AND THE HARDSHIPS THEY Face BECAUSE OF THEIR SEXUALITY. ITS A MUST SEE!!!!

A powerful movie! Sexual identity and race collide in a young teenager's life. I will watch this movie again.

Yes, it's yet ANOTHER coming out story, but the milieu is so finely drawn, and the writing so fresh, that one overlooks the "same-old, same-old" trajectory. Likewise the performances, which keep the whole thing from falling off the…

I didn't get to catch this film at Film Streams, and didn't have to wait too long for my turn with the library loan. It is such a good film, and it's remarkable in the fact that the story centers around a black teen. The film takes on…

A poignant film about a teen's struggle to find her identity.

I don't usually go in for dyke dramas, but this is simply the best coming of age movie I have seen in years, maybe ever. The fact that the person coming out is a girl and a black girl at that only makes it more astonishing. This…
