| Movie Haiku: | Brooklyn teen "Alike" (aka Lee) struggles to find her voice as a writer & as a lesbian. Touching debut performance by Oduye, but what elevates this above a very well done "coming of age" story is Wayans. She is outstanding as mother "Audrey"--an African-American woman desperately trying to shape her family into an idealized image of middle class perfection.
