Parental figures are one-dimensional. Behavior becomes extreme and absurd, making the film laughable.

The worst film I’ve seen since... Well, “Bully”.

Thoroughly vile!...It galls me to think that other nations might believe this is what American youth is really like

The film is fascinating, but sort of like watching a road accident.

A ragingly controversial feature that makes it very tricky to distinguish between insightful and incite-ful.

Ken Park leads viewers, fans, and detractors to wonder, "What the hell is this guy doing?"

Less a film than a moment in time--at least that’s what Ken Park’s dreamy bookends would have you believe.

Because the filmmakers cook up an equal number of touching sequences to match their disturbing ones, their portrait of disturbed America comes through clearly and effectively.

Here, finally, Clark takes the skankiness out of teen sex, making it into a romantic idyll.

This is a movie that lends a voice to a good chunk of the youth population. It's a voice that just wants to be heard. Is that too much to ask?
