THE BOTTOM LINE: PARIAH

PARIAH

STARRING:  Adepero Oduye, Pernell Walker, Kim Wayans, Charles Parnell and Aasha Davis

DIRECTOR:  Dee Rees

GENRE:  Drama

SYNOPSIS: A Brooklyn teenager longs to live her life as a lesbian without condemnation from family and friends.

RATING:  R

RUNNING TIME:  86 Mins

THE GOOD:  Just like Gabourey Sidibe’s performance in PRECIOUS, Adepero Oduye takes it to the next level.

Anything but a “drag,” this “coming out” tale keeps it real and in your face.

“We’re here! We’re queer!  Get used to it!"

No one’s getting bullied today!

THE BAD:  Freedom always comes at a price...

THE UGLY:  Christians who hate in the name of God…

MY SCORE:  ****

(4 OUT OF 5 STARS)
