Amazon.co.uk Review
Larry Clark's controversial IKids/I is a film about New York City adolescents walking the AIDS tightrope, but it's also an unblinking look at the dehumanising rituals of growing up. It really doesn't add up to more than the sum of its various shocks--virgin-busting, skinny-dipping, male callousness--overlayed with middle-class disapproval. Clark is hectoring us for cutting kids loose at a terrible time in modern American history, but so are a lot of other people who also offer alternatives and ideas. The film does nothing to push us toward new thoughts, new solutions, new dreams. It is more like a window onto our worst fantasies about what our children are doing out there on the streets. --ITom Keogh, Amazon.com/I

Hard hitting and shocking film September 6, 2008
Kids follows teenagers Telly and Casper around New York, two guys who have sex with virgins, rob stores and do drugs, unaware that one of Telly's former flings is coming to tell him she is positive with HIV.br /br /In one of the most controversial films of the 90's, Kids depicts lives of teenagers in a shocking and realistic film with hard gritty ideologies of illegal activities encoded for dramatic and realistic effect. br /br /The main ideology which will get you thinking is sex. Telly, a teenage stereotype, epitomises what a teenager is believed to be like in current society, with his mind on sex, drugs and booze, and is justified through a very shocking opening scene as he lies in bed with a virgin, seducing her. His talk with best friend Casper after is shockingly horrible and very unforgiving, but will instantly get you immersed into his life.br /br /As epitomized in films such as Kidulthood, teenagers have this view on sex and think its ok without protection, and Kids shows the dramatic consequences through Jennie, who has only had sex once but catches HIV. br /br /This dramatic ideology is essentially realistic to hit out at teenagers, to warn them of the dangers out there, and picks up on such a valid point that the film is watching for this preaching factor alone.br /br /The film takes place during one whole day, following Casper and Telly around New York as they get involved in robbery, drugs and parties. br /br /Despite the heaviness of the issues, the plot moves at a steady pace, with frequent dramatic moments.br /br /Chloe Sevigny (Broken Flowers) gives an excellent performance as Jennie, who you will be in tears with during the course of the film, and Jennie gives a balance of equality by being the strong minded realistic female in the plot, against the fantastical sex loving boys.br /br /The ending is unbelievably open and opens the plot into even more controversy, but will take another watch to get a true grip of some ideologies. Kids lacks in a few places but the strong realistic issues regarding teenage life will have you open mouthed come the shocking ending.br /br /8.5/10

I would not reccomend this dvd. I don't know what the rest of the reviewers are talking about. This is not a good movie. I never leave a review but i felt i had to warn people. I bought this dvd as it had a high star rating after watching it i realise it shouldn't. The lead actor is not good looking enough to charm so many girls.

To echo the thoughts of other reviwers: in short- disappointing. Controversy for controversy's sake. I'm not impressed, really. The film wasn't awful though. It just did not live up the hype.
dull dull dull. August 1, 2007

I like to remember this film as the only one I ever actually walked out on at the cinema. The director is obviously (and blatantly) trying to be all shocking and controversial (ooo look teenagers having sex - there's a surprise), but succeeds only in creating utter tedium. Ok, I guess the young actors give good performances overall, but they all play unlikeable/loathsome characters who it's difficult to give a damn about.
alright.. November 30, 2006

Although i enjoyed the film it isnt something I could watch time and time again.br /br /About a group of kids growing up in New York and underage sex. The ending was predictable. There isnt much of a storyline, but still worth a watch
