Change Clothes

Trailer: Pariah, A Focus Features Film

I caught a screening of Paria this week, and this is what I thought:

@ericjaviermejia I felt that way about #Pariah too. It was deeply emotional, complex, and stirring. Much more than just a coming out story.

What I would add:

More than just a coming out story, it was a story of family, of love lost, love gained, freedom and choice. 

And Kim Wayans gave a breakthrough performance as a serious dramatic actress. I kept expecting to see her as one of her In Loving Color characters, but she held true to the character of the story and made us believe her. We hated her and felt sorry for (empathized with ) her all at the same time.

Unfortunately I don’t have time to go into a more formal review, but you should definitely check out this film.
