  The movie Pariah (2011) staring Adepero Oduye was interesting to say the least. It was about a teenage lesbian girl Alika and the trails and tribulation she goes through because of her homosexuality. Throughout the movie Alika is faced with problems left and right. The problems ranged from trouble with her own self-identity to issues with her parents’ marriage. Being a hetero-sexual male I couldn’t relate to the movie much, but it was still an intriguing story. It took me awhile to really take an interest to the plot; but once I started watching closely, I had no problem keeping my eyes glued to the screen. I would recommend this movie to anyone that had trouble with self-confidence.
