Review of Paranoid Park (2007) by Trent C — 06 Jul 2012

While the performances outside of Gabe Nevins feels contrived and forced, which is a bummer because it seems that the very little talking that is done is unbelievable. But Alex's subtle acting is pretty accurate, good and believable although since the movie concentrates on the intense psychological stress of guilt, perhaps someone with more acting experience could have done better.

I do give him props though since I've never seen him in anything before. On the story end, its almost non-existent. It weaves back and forth, slowly filling in holes the audience probably knew and revealing more of the consequences of his actions.

Its a quiet, but good movie that could have been a lot better had it been for some better actors and actresses.
