Definately worth your time
Kids is a controversial film, it is a realistic portrait of some people's life, it should be a wake-up call, but above all it's a good way to spend a couple hours.I bought the film, several years ago, with the intention of seeing a sex filled shocking film. And shocking it was. I was disgusted, and that's not something that happens often. But months later, little flashes of the film would be in my head, and I started thinking about giving it a second chance. So I did, and I've watched it nearly twenty times since. I love this movie. Yes, it is disturbing to see the way these kids live, and the fate they've assigned themselves. But for some this is everyday. And we should all see it. Most of the people in this film weren't professional actors, they were kids from the area, people who already live the lifestyle they're portraying. And they present it in an incredibly accurate way, probably for that reason.If you go to this film with an open mind, without expectations, you'll see what Larry Clark saw, and what he wants to give to you. Give it a chance, and a second one if necessary, and you'll be glad you did.
