Kids
“Shocking. Depraved. Sickening. And they're only Kids.”
DramaCrime
A group of bored, disaffected New York City teenagers spend a day skating, smoking, drinking, partying, deflowering virgins, and getting into fights.
VIBE
This film feels like a raw, unvarnished plunge into a world of youthful recklessness and consequence. It's an unsettling, gritty, and provocative experience, capturing a sense of urban alienation with a propulsive, almost documentary-like energy. The mood is often nihilistic, exploring a dark side of coming-of-age.
