Pulsing with authenticity and led by a stirring lead performance from Adepero Oduye, Pariah is a powerful coming out/coming-of-age film that signals the arrival of a fresh new talent in writer/director Dee Rees. - Rotten Tomatoes
PLOT: The film focuses on Alike (played by Adepero Oduye), a 17 year old African-American teenager who lives with her parents – Audrey (Kim Wayans) and Arthur (Charles Parnell) – and younger sister Sharonda (Sahra Mellesse) in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood. Alike excels in poetry and is a good student at her local high school.
Alike is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. With the support of her openly gay best friend, Laura (Pernell Walker), Alike is especially eager to find a girlfriend. At home, her parents’ marriage is strained and there is further tension in the household whenever Alike’s development becomes a topic of discussion. Pressed by her mother into making the acquaintance of a colleague’s daughter, Bina (Aasha Davis), Alike finds Bina to be unexpectedly refreshing to socialize with. - Wikipedia
