Audience Member This is one of my favorite films by a favorite director. Gritty, atmospheric and emotive, it captures the evasive, transitory, ghost-like existence of graffiti artists existing within urban/industrial landscapes. The subtle and genuine acting of the lead characters lend to a realistic, street-level narrative. The skilled cinematography and use of rhythmic background music enhance the anxiety, elation, desire, boredom and loneliness of the characters place in the story and environments. Whoever wrote the Movie Info saw a different film than I did. Nick DID NOT seduce Jesse. I saw a spontaneous, intimate and consensual interaction that was influenced by a mixture of horniness, desire, attraction and loneliness by BOTH characters. The film was clear to show that Nick was interested in a deeper friendship while Jesse was not. It was heartbreaking and too real to see Nick rejected and abandoned by Jesse in the end. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Normally i would dismiss this type of film as an arty farty snore feast, but the director has created a world with little dialogue and a questioning plot...i found myself questioning characters like no film before, and was awash with conflicting emotions of wanting to both mother Rapture (brilliantly played by Ruben Bonsie Shellman) and marry him!...the films soundtrack and visuals create an impressive doco drama canvas that perplexed me with it's subtle power...living in a city it's all street scape that is familiar yet distant, and Graffiti artist yielded a welcomed insight...after watching this brilliant film i found myself desperately wanting a hug and will always ponder the artist behind graffiti i encounter...please see. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member He de confesar que me tomo absolutamente por sorpresa la profundidad del lenguaje silente del filme. Creo que la fuerza del filme radica en la intensidad de la actuacion de su protagonista, quien se entrega a su papel, entregando una actuacion de calibre de un profesional. Sus ojos expresivos y su lenguaje corporal definen el estilo del filme: libre, nostalgico y sin rumbo. UN buen filme.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Seeing Paranoid Park reminds me of this wonderful film I saw a few years back. This is more realistic movie about sk8rs and street kids in the NorthWest. Very low-budget, poor acting and lighting, but despite all that it's a very mesmerizing film, because it captures the isolation and loneliness of Northwest street kids with such honesty. These people feels so real that it's almost like I've met them before. It succeeded not in production value or storytelling, but the mood it captures. Possibly better at that than Paranoid Park, but that's mainly because homeless kids are far more interesting than teenage sk8rs from the 'burbs. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely visual and graphic (in the visual sense). I guess that makes sense for a film about art. Don't be distracted if you watch this you will miss something. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
