Premiere: Paranoid Park - Review, by Glenn Kenny: "It's terribly strong -- in structural ingenuity, emotional pull, and particularly visual beauty." [Rating: 3.5 out of 4] (March 7, 2008)
Village Voice: Paranoid Park - Review, by J. Hoberman: "The pleasing circularity of Gus Van Sant's masterful Paranoid Park is not only a function of the film's narrative structure but reflects the arc of its maker's career. Few directors have revisited their earliest concerns with such vigor." (March 4, 2008)
The Hollywood Reporter - Review, by Kirk Honeycutt: "In Paranoid Park, Gus Van Sant enters the world of high school kids just as he did in `Elephant,` achieving this time a much sharper, more focused portrait of how these rapidly maturing young people act, think, speak and behave." (May 22, 2007)
