Reviews for Kids
Kids shows what transpires when children are set adrift in a heartless world, and warns us what happens -- and is already happening -- in the absence of love and guidance.
01/01/00
A powerful piece of work, one not easily forgotten.
01/13/04
Kids is the kind of movie that needs to be talked about afterward.
01/01/00
Top CriticWith his debut feature, Larry Clark has made an unpleasant film about a few repulsive characters who lead a fairly irredeemable existence.
01/01/00
Kids doesn't let itself or us off the hook; we're all responsible for what we see. And what we won't see.
01/01/00
The first-time director, Larry Clark, is rather like his protagonist: He comes on to you, has his rough way with you, and leaves you feeling empty and violated.
08/04/07
None of the advance hype on Kids can prepare you for the raw, stripped-down reality that Larry Clark captures in his astonishing first film.
06/18/02
No matter the interpretation, the film’s sensationalism is eerily frank no matter if it’s presented in good taste or not.
01/01/00
A movie that pretends to be concerned with making an important social statement about modern youth, but which instead is just relentlessly in-your-face, wallowing in degradation to make a quick, controversial buck at the local multiplex.
01/01/00
Kids, a disturbingly voyeuristic look at adolescent promiscuity, is virtually child pornography disguised as a cautionary documentary.
01/01/00
Top CriticI hated watching the film. Hated it!
09/10/02
In its candid and bold approach, Larry Clarke's controversial film dwarfs all of Hollywood's youth movies, crossing new boundaries in its portrayal of sex and drugs; for a change, real teenagers, not actors in their 20s, play the roles.
12/19/06
Kids is especially chilling because it seems uncannily authentic.
06/05/02
Frightening, frank and serious, a wake-up call to the world.
05/20/03
Top CriticThere really are some kids who think like this, and these are the kids who should see this film.
01/27/02
Deeply shocking and disturbing, this film's hype exists for a reason.
01/01/00
It's uncomfortable to watch in the worst way, and unentertaining in the most annoying way.
01/01/00
The script and especially the low quality of the acting makes you think you are watching a poor documentary of an extremely important subject.
01/01/00
Clark's direction -- luminous, real, charged, hallucinatory -- is excellent, but Korine's script is so busy being amused by it's own excesses that it doesn't really tell us anything about the characters involved.
