Review of Kidulthood (2006) by Luke B — 14 Jun 2008
Once you get over the ingenious title of this film you can sit back and enjoy watching a a load of scummy shit heads act like twat-ends. The film certainly has enough talent behind it, at least in the acting department.
Its desire to shockucate (like shock and educate, I'm still impressed by the title of this film) is a bit desperate at times. These characters are mostly embarrassing to watch, this may be what it's like in the real world but that's just as embarrassing.
The editing and handling of issues is also poor, with every time a gun or knife is handed over we get loud ominous music. Should have shoved in a bolt of lighting and some thunder as well. There's enough to enjoy, but it seems to be a film about kids for kids.
In fact I preferred it when this film was called Kids, at least those characters has an essence of humanity to them.
