After the first scene it only gets worse. The disturbing events covered in Kids are too numerous to be detailed in a Tech review, and the full impact of seeing these things on the big screen cannot be fully conveyed through the medium of ink on paper. There are two incidences of theft, three of rape, and one near-fatal beating. Still, through it all, the characters are just kids. No one points any fingers and no one gets taken to court.
Nothing even seems out of the ordinary.
Ironically, the only stable character in Kids is a New York City taxi driver who amuses himself by making idle conversation with his HIV-positive passenger, Jennie. I hope you don't mind me asking, it's just that your face looks sad. Jenny is right, and the audience can understand her plight. Still, the cab driver does his best to make things better. It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining.
