PARIAH is also a frontrunner for the John Cassavetes Award at the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards. Thoughtful and thought provoking, PARIAH is as relevant today as it will be 50 years from now, as we journey with Alike in this coming of age story and her struggle to be true to herself and who she is. And as heartfelt and powerful as the film is, what will stay with you long after the curtain falls is the authenticity, honesty and megawatt smile of the newest star on the Hollywood horizon, Adepero Oduye.<\/p>\n<p>Alike (pronounced ah-LEE-kay) is the apple of her father\u2019s eye and like most teen girls, is at odds 24\/7 with her mother Audrey. Alike\u2019s father, Arthur, is a cop while Audrey works for a medical clinic. Also in the mix is her younger sister Sharonda who, like all little sisters, can be a pain in the butt. To the world, the family seems almost picture perfect. Nice house, nice cars, both parents employed in respectable jobs, good children, church-goers. But behind the facade lie dark truths that are about to erupt.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4974\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-5.jpg\" alt=\"pariah 5\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-5.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-5-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>An intelligent straight-A student, Alike is shy, quiet and somewhat of a loner. Her inner solace comes from writing poetry. Much to the dismay of Audrey, Alike\u2019s only real friend is Laura. Comfortable with her sexual identity and preference for women, Laura is considered far too manly by Laura and not the type of influence she wants for Alike as she sees Alike becoming more like Laura and not as &#8220;frilly and feminine&#8221; as she wants her to be. What Audrey doesn\u2019t see &#8211; or want to see &#8211; is that Alike is at a crossroads in her life where she is internally embracing her identity but looking for the comfort and acceptability of a relationship, and the courage to tell her parents and have them accept her.<\/p>\n<p>Struggling with her emotions, Alike is soon thrust into a friendship with Bina, daughter of a church-going Christian woman who is friends with Audrey. Unbeknownst to Bina\u2019s mother and Audrey, Bina herself is bi-curious and sees Alike as an answer to her own questions.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the family dysfunction is the strained marriage between Audrey and Arthur. Herself a frustrated wife (in more ways than one), Audrey also bears resentment to Alike for her closeness to her father. There is never a question that alike is Daddy\u2019s Little Girl, which also creates great emotional angst as Daddy doesn\u2019t want to see Alike grow up.<\/p>\n<p>But what happens when Alike\u2019s emotions are toyed with by Bina, Audrey and Charles come face-to-face with their own marital failures and who their daughter really is, and Alike is left standing seemingly alone to navigate the emotional floodgates of life?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4975\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-6.jpg\" alt=\"pariah 6\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-6.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-6-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hold on to your hats folks as you watch Adepero Oduye\u2019s Alike. She just lights up the screen. And when expressing happiness, she has a 1000 watt smile that you can&#8217;t help but love. A courageous and emotionally powerful performance, 33 year old Oduye, brings all the angst of a 17 year old teen, let alone a teen in conflict on issues of sexuality, giving an extremely dynamic and emotionally charged performance. Oduye is as adept at conveying nuanced quiet pain as she is with goofy teen-aged giddiness. One minute you feel yourself soar with her joy and the next you ache with her pain. Describing achieving the emotional result with the character by &#8220;just throwing myself into [it]&#8221;, Oduye &#8220;had to constantly push myself to be open and vulnerable because [Alike]\u2019s in a very open and vulnerable space at this point in her life. She\u2019s trying so hard in many different ways. She gets knocked back down. She tries again. She gets knocked back down until it finally breaks. But that breaking is painful but it\u2019s an opening; a chance for her to say \u2018I\u2019m just going to live my life, figure it out on my own.\u2019&#8221; A gifted actress, I can\u2019t wait to see what she does next.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Parnell is perfect as Arthur, the blind to reality father but a man who loves his daughter unconditionally. Making his performance even stronger is his chemistry with Adepero Oduye which is heartfelt and filled with all the magic of a father\u2019s love.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4969\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-wayans.jpg\" alt=\"pariah - wayans\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-wayans.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-wayans-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And talk about a powerhouse performance! Look no further than Kim Wayans. Pitch perfect as a woman in denial, and so lost, on so many levels, she garners no sympathy from me as Audrey, which only adds to the power of the performance. Audrey is herself hurting, cold, close-minded and manipulative, hiding behind the Bible. Wayans is so solid in the role that she actually pushes the audience to love and embrace Oduye&#8217;s Alike. Very interesting tact to take, but very effective. In speaking with Wayans, her enthusiasm for tackling this very enigmatic and dramatic role is unparalleled. &#8220;When this film came along. . .I read it and I was just blown away. It was so beautiful. So beautifully written. Such a powerful story. Such a relevant story. And Audrey just broke my heart&#8230;I felt so sorry for her. I was just like, \u2018I know I could this role some justice.\u2019 &#8230;They had read every actress in town at this point and they weren\u2019t really getting what they were looking for. They said they just kept getting one \u2018angry Black mama after the other\u2019 and they really wanted someone to bring Audrey\u2019s vulnerability to the surface.&#8221; Wayans succeeds beautifully.<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by Dee Rees based on her award-winning semi-autobiographical short film of the same name, while the subject matter of a someone struggling with sexual identity is nothing new, it is the grace, humor and honesty that flow through the script which sets PARIAH apart from other films of this nature. PARIAH is more than a story about &#8220;coming out&#8221;. This is a story about acceptance and the courage to be one\u2019s self with a powerful message &#8211; from adversity comes strength. As Adepero Oduye herself opines, &#8220;You take away the race. You take away the sexuality. It\u2019s just about identity. No matter where you\u2019re from in the world, no matter your social economic status, people can relate to [this]. People know what it\u2019s like to feel like they don\u2019t belong or try to figure out who they are. Or they\u2019re a parent and have a teenager. On so many different levels you can relate to this story. And that\u2019s really awesome and beautiful to witness that first-hand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4972\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-3.jpg\" alt=\"pariah 3\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-3-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kim Wayans, herself an accomplished writer and director describes director Dee Rees &#8220;as an actress\u2019 dream. She really creates an environment on the set that\u2019s very relaxing and safe so you feel like you can go to those dark spaces and that you\u2019ll be supported and you\u2019ll be protected, which is really really important, especially with a film like this. She has a quiet gentle way about her which actresses appreciate. When she gives you adjustments&#8230;she just comes over and whispers something to you, an adjustment that she wants you to make. She\u2019s really good about letting you bring what it is that you\u2019ve prepared. The first take, she lets the actress do the scene you envisioned it. Then she\u2019ll come over and make adjustments. She\u2019s wonderful to work with.&#8221; And kudos to Wayans who was never tempted to don her own director\u2019s hat while acting in PARIAH. &#8220;You have to be able to separate your roles. When you go into something as an actress, you have to put your director\u2019s cap away or else it just becomes a problem. . .this is not my film to direct. This is my film to give the director what she needs in order to actualize her vision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4968\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-dee-rees.jpg\" alt=\"pariah - dee rees\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-dee-rees.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-dee-rees-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Technically the film is outstanding, particularly when it comes to the Brad Young\u2019s cinematography. Shot in 35mm over 18 days, the lensing is varied between hand-held close-ups and wide angle dolly shots, both which are effectively and appropriately utilized. Using the camera to show relationships and construct dynamics, there is a fluidity to the lensing that moves as it your eye is scanning a room. According to Rees, due to the limited budget of PARIAH, Young even &#8220;designed his own lights built them. We really wanted to use the [light] colors to heighten characterizations. Going into it I had an 80 page shot list and Brad and I would sit with the 80 page shot list&#8230;and we\u2019d walk around and talk through the scenes. We\u2019d visit locations multiple times so we knew where we were going and we\u2019d do floor plans for the major set-ups so we\u2019d know where the angles are, where the props or furniture need to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4973\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-4.jpg\" alt=\"pariah 4\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-4.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/pariah-4-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Inbal Weinberg\u2019s production design is used as a very effective tool, aiding to clearly define the characters and their demographic differences as well as to help shape Audrey and the family home life further. This is a great instance where the production design helps fuel a backstory. Following through on the use of lighting color and tone, color within the set design and costuming are also powerful storytelling tools, setting the ambient emotional &#8211; and character &#8211; tone throughout the film.<\/p>\n<p>While there are a few shortcomings, such as some scenes that are unnecessary or overly extended, particularly those involving the girls\u2019 club, or others involving Arthur and local men in the area that could benefit from enhanced dialogue and &#8220;fleshing out&#8221;, PARIAH maintains a very lyrical flow built upon good storytelling and filled with magnificent performances that soar.<\/p>\n<p>Alike &#8211; Adepero Oduye<\/p>\n<p>Audrey &#8211; Kim Wayans<\/p>\n<p>Arthur &#8211; Charles Parnell<\/p>\n<p>Written and Directed by Dee Rees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: debbie lynn elias One of the biggest surprises to come out of 2011 is PARIAH, a glorious little indie film from Dee Rees that bodes two incredible performances &#8211; Adepero Oduye, a hot contender for a 2012 Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her portrayal of Alike; and Kim Wayans, who, as Alike\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4970,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,9],"tags":[176],"class_list":["post-4966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movies","category-reviews","tag-drama"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
