Watch Ken Park For Free

The Worst Film Ever

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

it is the basic sin and virtue of this experiment who seems have as purpose only to use the sex and violence as challenges for the sensitivity of the public. this desire transforms the story in a convention or sketch about family, teenagers, needs, freedom, chaos. and this is it. sure, nothing surprising. but "Ken Park" has not a precise direction. it could be reduced as a show in which the voyeurism is axis. the generous theme - the storm of feelings, desires, self image of teenagers becomes only a pretext. and not the explicit sexual scenes are the problem, not the violence but the absence of meanings. result - a not comfortable film because every expectation of public falls.

Being acquainted with Larry Clark's work, i went to see Ken Park. I was disappointed although the movie had all the hallmarks of Larry Clark's work: troubled teenagers, irresponsible adults and a lot of naked bodies.My issue with Ken Park is the focus on the dark side of humanity. Not that it doesn't exist in real life, but there is absolutely no light in the darkness of Ken park apart from indulging in sexual intercourse and masturbation. It left me with a feeling that the scenario was written by someone who hasn't left teenage angst behind him. In a way, this was true, since at least one version of the scenario has been written by Harmony Korine in his mid-twenties.I feel sorry for anyone who had to go through anything similar to the stories told in Ken Park. Yet, it seemed to me how the authors piled everything up only to make us feel bad about being alive...

I had heard about this movie years ago, while reading an article about "distrubing scenes in cinema history". This film was described as "shocking" and considered as "pornographic" by some professional reviews. Today I finally decided to watch it and make my own idea of the film, because I had also heard that some people called it a true work of art. Anyways, today I finally decided to watch it and make my own opinion out of it. Let me be straight : this movie is NOT for everyone, and not just because of the sex scenes, but because it is very hard to watch those characters struggling with their families and with life. Some scenes are very disturbing on a psychological level, not just because of the images. When it comes to explicit content, the movie never shies away from showing male or female nudity, or even actual sex acts on-screen. One scene in particular is quite intense but I won't spoil it for you, I guess the point of that scene is to show you how free from censorship this movie wants to be.That being said, this movie is great. I never thought I would give it 8 out of 10 but it really went beyond my expectations. I appreciate Larry Clark's work and liked both "Kids" and "Bully" (even though I preferred "Kids" but lets move on) but I was expecting him to lose his "filmmaking hand" as he got older, but he didn't. He kept the exact same style as always, but this time went much deeper into the character's feelings. "Kids" was all about showing what teenagers really did when they were together, in their own secret world filled with sex and drugs and "Bully" was more about the violence that can build up in some teens, and the fact that no one is really there for them from making big mistakes. But "Ken Park" on the other hand is actually more about the parents of these kids. They have no real adults to look up to, practically all the families depicted in this movies or either broke (financially and emotionally), frustrated or freaks. With no supervision, these kids seek for love and appreciable affection where they can find it : with their friends, drugs and sexual experiences.As always this is a Larry Clark film, so realism is at it's top level, and as always he makes all these stories, scenes, characters completely believable. Some performances are amazing (James Ransone), some stories are strangely touching and emotional (Claude and his father), some scenes are electrifying (Shawn and his girlfriend's mother) and some moments weirdly peaceful (final sex scenes). It almost feels that sex gives those teens a reassuring feeling of comfortness and love, a way to get away from their horrible families and just free themselves and their bodies from all the boundaries they have. Some choose drugs, some choose violence, some choose death (Ken), but others choose consensual sex. Is it a really moral kind of message to pass to teenagers? No. It is supposed to be an example of what to do, does it give a solution to family problems? No. But is it strangely beautiful in its realism and depiction of reality? Yes.A.C.

This was the first Larry Clark movie that I've seen in my life, but it left me without any desire to see another film directed by him.Honestly, this has to be one of the most boring and pointless movies that I've seen in my entire life. It had an ugly and amateurish direction style (Yes, this is another one of those forced and poorly made "pseudorealistic" movies) and lots of forced and gratuitous content which seems to be put here just for the sake of shock.Personally, I didn't find "Ken Park" to be "disturbing" or "shocking" at all, I just find it boring, dull and stupid, without any redeeming value. The last scene was just pathetic, being almost like something borrowed from a very bad porn movie...Oh yeah, something totally "realistic" and "deep".Ken Park is the worst indie film that I've ever saw. For me, it was a complete waste of time.
