Paranoid Park 2007

Paranoid Park is some kid you hang out with after school and you don't need to talk too much because you get each other better when you're silent.

Gus Van Sant films a teen drama with no drama through a cold lens with a lot of warmth.

Bonus prize: The incredible Taylor Momsen makes an appearance in between The Grinch that Stole Christmas and Gossip Girl, though my favorite part of her remains the lead singer of the Pretty Reckless. :metal_tone1::metal_tone1::metal_tone1:
