“Winner of the Cinematography Award at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, Pariah is a gritty and heartfelt coming-of-age drama starring talented newcomer Adepero Oduye as Alike, a bright, well-mannered 17-year-old African-American girl who lives with her middle-class, seemingly tight-knit family in Brooklyn. Ready to more openly explore her homosexual inclinations, Alike, who is out to her friends, finds it increasingly more difficult to conceal her sexual preference from her conservative parents. A semi-autobiographical story, Pariah is brimming with tomorrow's talent; in addition to Oduye's standout performance and Bradford Young's cinematography, filmmaker Dee Rees walked off with Breakthrough Director accolades at the 2011 Gotham Awards.”
