Review of Kids (2011) by Teddy V — 15 Jan 2013
It's rare to find a film which despite being narrative based successfully pulls off the kind of realism that typically only a documentary can boast. This is such a film, and thus we are presented with the life of young teenagers living in New York in the mid-1990's, in all its dripping, surging reality.
This is a truly excellent film, that pulls no punches and makes no easy shifts from difficult to simple. It's just real, and I suppose that means it is too real for everyone to like. Just because a film is unpleasant doesn't mean the film is not very very good.
Life isn't easy, and maybe watching this film shouldn't be either.
