Fong Kok Hoong F Singled out as one of her favorite performances by Meryl Streep in her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes for THE IRON LADY, Adepero Oduye definitely deserves the shout-out for her nuanced portrayal of a Black female teenager coming of age brazening parental disappointment and betrayal in Dee Rees' perceptive directorial debut.

I am free” Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review creative u Beautifully shot and acted film about a Black teenage girl exploring her sexuality and her gender expression in spite of those around her. Amazing performances from Adepero Oduye and Kim Wayans. This is one of those films that should get more love from the LGBTQ community, but much like other films that center the Black queer experience, like Moonlight and The Watermelon Woman, it's often times ignored, which is a shame. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/22 Full Review Audience Member Every once in a while, you come across a film that feels less like a movie and more like someone's story; Pariah is a great example of that. It is an amazing film that shines a spotlight on many of the struggles that LGBTQ+ teens and LGBTQ+ people in general face. This entire cast does an incredible job delivering exceptionally authentic performances. Speaking of authenticity, the camerawork gives the film a very real feel. On top of that, the dialogue feels organic and the top-notch performances contribute to that. It is clear that writer/director Dee Rees is a talent. As I mentioned, Pariah feels less like a movie and more like someone's story. What I mean by that is it doesn't feel like an artificial narrative that someone created; instead it feels like an experience that many teens have had to endure and, sadly, that is true. Pariah isn't just a great film, it is an important film. It's a film that highlights just how horrible and destructive homophobia is. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Pariah is the story of a young black lesbian. I really enjoyed the movie. Ms. Oduye gave a very nuanced and subtle performance in her role. Also, it was interesting to contrast the story of Alike to that of her friend. This is a story that needed to be told. Recommended! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review camille l Alors que cela aurait pu être un film de niche, Pariah est un petit coup de maître réalisé par Dee Rees pour son premier long métrage. Coming-of-age d'une fille LGBT de Brooklyn de nos jours, Pariah est un film remarquable, dirigé avec talent et acuité par Dee Rees, porté par une interprétation formidable de l'actrice principale, Adepero Oduye et qui a la bonne idée de faire tout en moins de 90 minutes. Avec des personnages particulièrement bien ficelés et complexes (Kim Wayans & Charles Parnell sont formidables) et quelques séquences admirablement bien rythmées, Pariah est un film tour-à-tour drôle, déchirant, touchant et surtout franchement réaliste. Sacrée réussite. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
