Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com A highlight of indie cinema in 1995 Rated: B Apr 18, 2011 Full Review Bob Satuloff Film Journal International Simply too adolescently overwrought to sit well with late '90s audiences, gay or otherwise. 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 9, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

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
