Review of Adulthood (2008) by Luke G — 05 Jul 2008

I'm not exactly sure what I can say that will ensure you SEE THIS FILM, but I'll try.

I think so many people will be put off right away when they presume it's about a "bunch of chavs in London pretending to be gangsters" - that couldn't be more far from the truth.

AdULTHOOD is a film about redemption, love, lonliness and struggle. Picking up 6 years after 'Kid' - it's another life during a day movie, a format rarley seen in films recently. As with the first one, basically a cast of unknowns here pull off incredible performances - Noel Clarke takes on writing/directing and lead acting parts for this film and he deserves major major kudos for that, he's going on to even bigger things for sure.

It's a joy when british movies like this come out on top. Adulthood has carved it's place among the likes of Lock Stock, Snatch and Trainspotting.

Seeing films like this remind me why I got into filmmaking in the first place. A crowning achievment for everyone involved - please make sure you check this out (Be sure to see kidULTHOOD first).
