Recently, there's been quite a bit of noise written about the film Paraiah. The film is a coming out story about a 17-year old girl named Alike. It's playing very limited release in Manhattan, Los Angeles & San Francisco. I am looking forward to seeing the film once it goes into wider release. The film is getting good reviews, especially for Adepero Oduye, the 37-year-old actress playing Alike. Yeah, 37 years old.
The coolest thing I've seen related to the movie is over at Salon. They have a series of coming out stories from young people called the Pariah Personals. It's encouraging to see a general website like Salon supporting young LGBTQI people. The stories are varied & inspiring. You can check them out here. Please feel free to chime in with comments about the Salon columns or, if you've seen it, the film.
Here's the NY Times review and below is the trailer.
