Review of Kids (2011) by Michael C — 16 Mar 2014

Kids does a DECENT job of placing social commentary on the activities of American youth with no sugarcoating. But, some sequences feel exaggerated, and others over-the-top or downright unsettling, making the film's commentary on adolescents feel occasionally blurred in favor of shock value, rather than informativeness.

It moderately serves as a wake-up call for parents, the actors do a fine job and it's atmosphere suits the story, but viewers will more than likely walk away with disgust, rather then awareness towards the issue.
