Pariah (Criterion Collection)

Alike (Adepero Oduye) is a bright teen from Brooklyn, and she's at peace with her lesbian leanings. That's more than can be said for her churchgoing mom (Kim Wayans) and doting cop dad (Charles Parnell), who are in denial about her sexual identity. They start steering Alike away from her out and butch BFF (Pernell Walker) and toward a co-worker's "nice" daughter (Aasha Davis), but the results might not be what they're hoping for, in this acclaimed coming-of-age drama. 87 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes. Two-disc set.
