Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Pariah (2011)

Lee knows she’s a lesbian and is trying to explore what that means while keeping her strict family in the dark.

This is an understated film. There are no big epiphanies. Although everyone knows (or at least strongly suspects) the truth, the bravery to be open and force the rejection or acceptance is terrifying. I appreciated that it wasn’t tidy.

B+
