Yes, he was captivating in Scream. But Lillard really gets a chance to shine in SLC Punk, a movie that my teens (neither of them into Punk music) couldn't stop watching...again and again. Lillard is an authentic, uniquely original actor, able to contort his already strange face into a series of even stranger, but oddly watchable, expressions while throwing himself into his role.  Even if you hate Punk music (I'm not a fan of it myself) and find yourself put off by teens who dye their hair red or blue, pierce various parts of their body and act in random and seemingly random ways, give this one a chance. The story of teens who don't fit in and feel out of place and restricted by living in Utah, who yearn for freedom and are searching for their identities and place in the world, is a universal one. My son convinced me to watch this one and I'm glad he did. Now I secretly watch it myself, when my more conventional friends aren't around and I want to remember what it was like being a teen and feeling out of step with the rest of the world.
