Pariah

A brilliant coming-of-age story of a butch black highly intelligent teenage girl who struggles to reconcile being gay within the confines of her conservative middle-class home. Her meddlesome bible-thumping mother is in denial of both her husband’s infidelity and her daughter’s sexuality thus creating more angst. 
 
A thought-provoking film enlivened with some neat touches of humor from first time writer/director Dee Rees.  It shows a tough story in a really refreshing manner and despite the focus on the strains it places on this family, it never gets melodramatic.

Available on Amazon
