Alike (Adepero Oduye) is a 17 year old closeted stud who lives with her parents and sister in Brooklyn. Following the steps of her best friend Laura – a high school dropout stud played by Pernell Walker –, chronically shy Alike goes out to strip clubs and lesbian bars trying her luck with the ladies without much success. Alike’s family is far from picture perfect. Her father (Charles Parnell) is a well known and respected detective who either doesn’t care about his daughter’s sexual orientation or is too busy having an affair to notice it.
In this month, when summer sadly leaves our lives, I’ve decided to keep temperatures high with two Japanese animated works that have been released this summer.
Is not a bird, is not a plane, is…. Love my life. In the comic genre there are many titles that due to their gained fame ended up being brought to the big screen, well-known examples are the classics: Superman, Batman, the X-Men, the last Dragon Ball, and many others.
Women. Brunettes. Blondes. Gingers. Auburns. Shy. Outgoing. Free. Guilty. Happy. Brave. Resigned. Proud. Blind. Sensitive. Awake. Women who are just what society allowed them to be. Women who make themselves every day. Women who change the world and women who don’t believe they are strong. Women who love women. Women who love men. Women who can’t even love themselves.
