@The Movies with PopPop: Pariah

Pariah is a far better and more interesting movie than the trailers would indicate. It’s the story of a young teen who has realized she’s a lesbian and is struggling with family, peers, and the existing lesbian community, taking place in current times in Brooklyn.

The movie is terribly mistitled in that she’s not a pariah by any means, but a struggling young woman finding her way. And the emphasis in the trailers on the yelling and screaming in her family is not what the movie is essentially about. I found it not only a very well done movie, but one that provided insights into what it’s like for young persons on the brink of coming out. Try to see it.
