Paranoid Park Ratings & Reviews
Paste Magazine
Alissa Wilkinson
In the hands of cinematographic mastermind Christopher Doyle, teenage spats, telephone calls and coasting skateboarders are infused with lyricism and dreaminess.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's breathtaking, heartbreaking, tragic, gorgeous, and true all at the same time.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
[An] intriguing, mind-altering skateboard elegy.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
Van Sant's ... adoration of uncommunicative kids with limited vocabularies and awesome hair is beginning to wear a little thin.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
Gus Van Sant's capper to a trilogy of experiments in elliptical narrative and lyrical structure is a masterful triumph of art, craft and empathy for the complicatedness of being a real teenager.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Regarding Paranoid Park as an elongated short rather than a feature helps a bit, because it's a miniature in spirit -- a small-format portrait of psychic malaise that just happens to last 84 minutes.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Paranoid Park becomes a portrait of the skate punk as repressed personality. The movie doesn't really go anywhere as a story, it simply unfolds.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Intriguing and obliquely involving.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Peter Schilling
Alex goes to school, has a girlfriend, eats junk food ... and is almost as much of a zombie as anything George A. Romero has ever conjured up. Only less appealing.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Elephant said much more about teenagers and said it better.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Even something as modest as Paranoid Park manages to reflect Van Sant's greatest strengths as an artist: his seemingly limitless fluency with his chosen medium and his willingness to tell even the oldest stories in bold new ways.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Yet another movie about misunderstood teenage skateboarders.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
This isn't mallrat Crime and Punishment; it's Accident and Inertia, structured by Alex's attempt to capture his feelings in a journal.(He's more verbose than introspective.)
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
For some of the way, it seems like a kind of skateboard whodunit. Soon enough, we understand it's much more than that. And by then, we know we're in for a ride to remember.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Youth and death meet again in Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park, a gorgeously stark, mesmerizingly elliptical story told in the same lyrical-prosaic style that has characterized his latest films.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
It's always exciting when a film that plays with cinematic language can squeeze in among the flotsam and jetsam of repetitive mediocrity.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Paranoid Park, the new Gus Van Sant movie, is slight but fascinating.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
In the space of 78 minutes, Mr. Van Sant and his cinematographer, the peerless Christopher Doyle, manage to suffuse that state with haunting sadness, ubiquitous danger, pulsing power and flickers of hope.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Van Sant has made his best film in many years. I didn't realize it until a second viewing. These things sometimes happen, especially if the first encounter was in the middle of a film festival.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jim Emerson
Paranoid Park is graced with those peculiar Van Sant touches of discovery and absurdity, delightful because they're at once so right and so inscrutable.
