Critics consensus

“Pulsing with authenticity and led by a stirring lead performance from Adepero Oduye, Pariah is a powerful coming out/coming-of-age film that signals the arrival of a fresh new talent in writer/director Dee Rees.”

The acting and directing create a winning combination for unlocking the most powerful tool in social change: empathy.

Pariah was honed over seven years...and the film that results is a stunning achievement.

To me, a film that engenders that sort of hope and possibility is worth gas money, an $8 ticket, and a trip to the concession stand.

[Director Dee] Rees has crafted an indelible coming-of-age portrait of a teen lesbian and poet that’s by turns funny and awkward, painful and triumphant.
