One Paragraph Review: Pariah

Pariah tells the story of Alike, a 17-year old girl in Brooklyn, who comes out as a Lesbian to her family and best friend. I'll spoil things a little and say this movie is really sad. Alike is a quiet, conservative girl (not politically) and struggles with her identity, alongside equally conservative parents. Pariah is well written, well acted and incredibly well directed. Pariah is the kind of low budget, independent movie you may not have heard of, and probably wouldn't opt to watch, but you should. Really, everyone should see this movie.
