Review of Paranoid Park (2007) by Seanq — 12 Aug 2008

I didn't feel like I had gained anything in watching this movie. There was no 'fresh' perspective for me, no insight, no humour, no lesson. Yep, life has a way of going really bad really fast sometimes and we live with the consequences of our actions for the rest of our lives.

And teenagers are all shallow and angsty about sex 'n stuff. While it's not a bad movie, it's definitely not a great movie either. I think people are being fooled by the seriousness of the subject matter, a shocking scene, and some nice camerawork.

Otherwise, it's just dull. This one will fade to black before many other movies do.
