A kid tries to figure things out after the accidental killing of a guard in Paranoid Park, a local skate park. The film is directed by Gus van Saint who also did Elephant (which I highly recommend).
I wouldn't call this a bad film. It works really well and I like the way the story is told and what the director is trying to do but it does falter a bit due to the acting.
The kids really do try but it comes off as they really trying to act normal and it doesn't come across right for the film. It's a shame to because I think I would have enjoyed it even more if it felt more real. But still, worth a rental if you're into the more indie type of film.
Entertainment Value - 2.5 /5
