Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The gay coming-of-age story's been done, but "Pariah" has something fresh to say, largely about the knotty complexities of love, and how they might keep someone in the closet: How badly do you need to be free, to hurt the people you love?

rotten:
Rees brings a heartfelt connection to the material, based on her own coming-out story, but the film's ingredients aren't the freshest.
– Colin Covert,

fresh:
You don't have to be black or lesbian or even know someone who's gay to appreciate "Pariah"; you just have to have gone through or be going through the process of growing up.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,

fresh:
"Pariah" is a small film about a big subject: the struggle to be who you are, not who others would like you to be.

If the destination is trite, the journey isn't - it comes with an ample supply of raw honesty.
