The 2025 Amy Wang film Slanted, which opened in Pittsburgh on March 12, will remain here through March 25.
As a senior in high school, Joan Huang idolizes winning Prom Queen as the embodiment of popularity, beauty and the ultimate form of acceptance into American life. In her relentless pursuit for the crown, she undergoes an experimental racial transformation to become White and win Prom Queen. However, what she thought was a dream come true soon reveals itself to be an emotional and physical nightmare. "Slanted" offers a searing and unapologetically satirical view on race and the uncomfortable journey of learning to love.It plays locally now at the AMC Loews Waterfront and the Cinemark theater in Robinson through the 19th, and the AMC Loews Waterfront after that, and tickets are available online.
