From Amazon.co.uk

Larry Clark's controversial Kids is a film about New York City adolescents walking the AIDS tightrope, but it's also an unblinking look at the dehumanising rituals of growing up. It really doesn't add up to more than the sum of its various shocks--virgin-busting, skinny-dipping, male callousness--overlayed with middle-class disapproval. Clark is hectoring us for cutting kids loose at a terrible time in modern American history, but so are a lot of other people who also offer alternatives and ideas. The film does nothing to push us toward new thoughts, new solutions, new dreams. It is more like a window onto our worst fantasies about what our children are doing out there on the streets. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant. 31 Mar 2005
By Brrnrrd
Format:DVD
I have a thing for films that cast no judgement. This is one such film, that follows some pretty horrible kids around for 24 hours, but there is no moral conclusion, and it exposes the attitudes of teenagers 'today'. I recognised quite a few of my peers in that film, particularly among the boys; selfish, arrogant, narrow minded and shallow. The girls' depiction was very refreshing for once, particularly at the beginning; I thought the conversations they were having were quite similar to the kind I have with my friends - though we are considerably less crude. :/

I suppose the reason I love this film is because not only is it gritty, shocking and real, but it manages to be predictable and painful at the same time. Inevitability, is the better word, for what happens at the end. I think the box's description of 'a day when everything and nothing will change' is spot on.

5.0 out of 5 stars A drug, drink and sex fuelled teen film which hits you hard 12 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
From the word go this film makes you think what happened to these kids and do people live like this in reality. That's why Kids is so shocking. Teenagers do all these things every day all over the world and many do get aids. Kids will leave you intreaged by the lifestyle lived in the film but much more aware of AIDs, drugs and alcohol.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty but Excellent 26 Mar 2006
By A Customer
Format:DVD
It's about kids sleeping around, getting in fights, and stealing. You won't like it, right? Wrong. This is an awesome film, set from the point of view of a bunch of kids growing up in your average American city. They're bored, so they did what a lot of us did or wanted to do.

The best part about this film is the way it tries not to judge the kids, merely to document how they live. You're not going to get Bruce Willis turning up to catch these young criminals on the job. On the other hand, one of them gets the ultimate come-uppance right at the end, and you can't tell me you don't think he deserved it?

I'd read bits and pieces about this film so thought I'd find it. I found 'Kids' upsetting and quite difficult to watch but with a subject matter like this film what can you expect. Read more
