Review of Paranoid Park (2007) by Kenh. — 17 Apr 2008
Its a slow-moving, stylized and quiet film that will only reward viewers who are attentive and thoughtful. If you are looking for a standard narrative and standard "good versus evil" ethics, you will certainly be disappointed.
What we do get is an impressive film that tries to create a few days in the life of a typical teenager when something extraordinary happens to him. I suppose you could call it a coming of age flick, but you'd be missing the point if you labeled it simply as that.
It has only one real fault -- a select few of the young actors fail as actors and it can wrench the viewer right out of the moment.
