Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

FountainPen Awful, horrible piece of cinema. Who the hell thought up this flick? It is deeply insulting to the viewer. I can't recall when I've ever seen a more sleazy, nasty exploitive youngster "movie". It borders on pornography, frankly, and is inordinately demeaning to women. Give it a pass. I rate it 2/10 only because there are some films which are worse than this garbage. Btw, I can see that it will appeal to juveniles, especially 9 to 13 year old boys, as well as, presumably, dirty old men! Yecchhh.

Anthony Jackson At the start it looks like a little bit of underage kids doing adult things. But little did I know how old they actually were. My guess was 16. Turns out it's 12 and 13 year old kids in White Ghetto New York. It was very entertaining to see the average day in the life of late 80s and 90s kids. The kids are crazy, and quite frankly remind me of myself when I was that age. What with all the weed, drinking, and fun with friends. But I really related to the movie. I really found laughter and drama in what really isn't too funny a movie, and no this review isn't a review on the whole movie. It's my experience with the movie. 10/10 IGN, Would Watch again.

jhobbs123 I had not heard of this film until my room mate informed me of the work of Harmony Korine and the unconventional aesthetics contained within his work. After hearing about the concept of this film and the nature revolved around it, I decided to sit down and watch it. Conveniently, "Youtube" has the entire unedited film in its entirety for free to view. On first note, I must identify the superb acting of Justin Pierce as Casper and may his tragic suicide in 2000 be noted and perhaps this role had a daunting effect on him. Kids today are curious, and this film exploits the innocence of adolescence to a the underground world of drugs and unprotected sex. This highly critical portrait of 90s youth is a phenomenal commentary on the ignorance of adult society as parents need to be aware of what their children are up to. This film presents a message through a highly disturbing and engaging 90 minutes of drugs and teenage fornication. For a shaky independent film, "Kids" will leave a lasting feeling on those who view it and hopefully will provide a critical point of view to parents who let their children out past midnight. I recommend this film to everyone as it shows us the life of uneducated and rebellious children who don't know anything about reality. Phenomenal work of art and excellent criticism on the dark side of youth. PARENTS MUST WATCH THIS FILM.

tristandude14 I had heard about "Kids" several years back after seeing Harmony Korine's 1997 film "Gummo" which I was not impressed with. I wanted to see "Kids", however, because it sounded like one of those really screwed up films that's so bad you shouldn't watch it, yet you can't look away. Well, in a way, that is what "Kids" is. I finally rented the film a few weeks ago and watched it. Let me just say, with a single viewing, I had mixed feelings. I didn't expect what I saw. I am not a prude person by any means, but all the graphic sex talk between the teenagers was a bit much. It was so descriptive and realistic to the point that it was almost too realistic to be real, if that makes any sense at all. However, after some thinking, I realized this movie is depicting the way some kids really live. There are kids who talk about sex all day, come from really screwed up families, and sleep with everyone in sight. The sad truth is that this is one of the most realistic films you can find out there today. This may sound like a stretch, but I feel like it should almost be shown in schools (with permission slips, of course) because if you want a movie that can really scare the crap out of teenagers into using protection and not sleeping around, I feel like this movie can do it. "Kids" is shown more like a documentary than a work of fiction and is so realistic you feel like you're watching truth. 8 out of 10 stars.
