"What if this movie were not directed by acclaimed filmmaker Gus Van Sant? What if it had not been honored with a special prize at last year’s Cannes Film Festival? What if it had not been an official selection of the Toronto and New York Film Festivals? What if it wasn’t nominated for three (Independent) Spirit Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Producer? What if Manohla Dargis didn’t consider it, “one of the most moving and delicately felt films of Gus Van Sant’s career”? Would Paranoid Park still seem that appealing? Not to me, but then I’ve seen enough films involving teens covering up an intentional or accidental murder. And that’s despite having enjoyed most of them, including Mean Creek, Bully, George Washington and even (though much, much less so)

"An fantastic little independent film that fell way under the radar (I only knew about this film because of the MILLION and a half previews Paramount love to put on their DVDs), more films should aspire to take the risks this one does, even if it doesn't exactly hit a bull's eye. One part character study, one part morality play, I particularly liked the stark cinematography as it gave the whole film a sort of rainy-day quality. The biggest and brightest star of this film, though, is it's wonderful cello score which adds to the melancholy tone of the film. The closing credits song, "Angel On My Shoulder" is of particular note, and a fitting elegiac of youth's innocence lost. "

"I really don't understand who the 'experts' only have it 3/5. This is movie is by far one of the best movies I've seen. It has probably the most emotional scene I've seen in any movie as well. Mean Creek tells the story of a group of kids simply wanting to get revenge on a school bully. To go along with this great, and suspensful at times, story, Mean Creek contains one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a long while. If you can, pick it up. You won't be dissapointed. "
