Amazon.co.uk Review
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

This movie was very powerful.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kids (W/S) [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
This movie is possibly the greatest film that I have ever seen.It portrays the lives of adolescents at its worst yet does it in such a way that it makes you realize just whats going on in the world today.It brings to attention the dangers of sex,drugs and alchohol.Being a teenager myself the movie does a very good job of depicting life as a teen in an inner city.

Brilliant.,
By Brrnrrd (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kids [DVD] [1996] (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.

A drug, drink and sex fuelled teen film which hits you hard,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kids (W/S) [VHS] [1996] (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.
