Pedophilia, pedophilia, pedophilia.

Kids is especially chilling because it seems uncannily authentic.

Clark has stepped back into objectivity so far that he has neglected his role as interpreter for us.

Top CriticNone of the advance hype on Kids can prepare you for the raw, stripped-down reality that Larry Clark captures in his astonishing first film.

No matter the interpretation, the film’s sensationalism is eerily frank no matter if it’s presented in good taste or not.
