      Audience Member Interesting, depressing but something is dramatically lacking. Great intentions; and an informative example of social structure in some American sub-culture. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Rife with good intentions and noble thoughts, "Parallel Sons" falls short of its dramatic quotient with an awkwardly constructed narrative and ill-defined characterizations. A racial fish-out-of-water tale, it plays more like a classroom discussion-starter than theatrical fodder. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Talk about gay interracial love...quite impressive for a movie made in 1995. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member For a very low-budget movie with no-name stars the acting isn't bad, but the storyline is clunky, unbelievable and predictable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Jul 11, 2007 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com it becomes impossible to excuse the many bad decisions the young friends make on their doomed path to freedom.
