Kids IS a shocking movie representing an underground youth culture of excess and liberty to the extreme in an inner-city urban habitat. It represents a shocking reality, which not many of us will, hopefully, ever encounter. Fair enough, it does not represent a sizeable part of any population, but the subjects covered do happen. I am a teenager myself and from personal experience you can only be naive in believing this doesn't happen. It is unbelievable due to its complete and utter excessive depiction in every sociopath youth cliche this pseudo-documentary tries to deal with, from the perverse deflowerment of sub-teens to dealing with HIV.
What am I to think of a film, which makes me hate the two main stars from the word go, two perverse freaks - Telly and Casper? Jennie, portrayed by Chloe Sevigny, was the only character I could possibly feel for, who also had the most noticeable performance.
The style of the film was the only thing going for it. I found the script was funny in a "I'm laughing at you bunch of no-hopers, not with you" way. At some points, a mate and I even thought there was an element ad-lib. Either that or there some talent there. The film is not "positively" entertaining. Whether or not you take this film seriously reflects your apathy to society because this is horribly realistic. But there are only a few films not worth a viewing and this is film that should be viewed purely for its controversial subject matters. From the rest of comments, you can see this film is meant to shock.
People saying this is a great party film is almost as annoying as people who give the plot away in the comments section. (Did you know there was a plot summary section?)
