Paranoid Park

Reviews

Paranoid Park

By Kirby Fields

Van Sant’s narrative prowess will never be favorably compared to that of Wilder, Ford, or Tarantino. His bailiwick is character, particularly those characters who exist on the fringes: users, hustlers, hitchhikers. [14 November 2008]

Paranoid Park (TIFF 2007)

By Matt Mazur

Gus Van Sant is concerned with portraying the developing moral compass of a jaded youth with a heartfelt sincerity and a steady hand. [14 March 2008]

Paranoid Park

By Cynthia Fuchs

The movie realizes Alex's desperate, poetic subjectivity in layers. His halting voiceover is perfectly unmatched with the uneven editing and skips back and forth in time. [12 March 2008]
