Come On Children

About This Movie

So, 'Come On Children' is this fascinating documentary from Allan King that really captures a raw slice of adolescence. You’ve got ten kids, five boys, five girls, all ranging from 13 to 19, thrown together on a farm for ten weeks. It’s not just about them living together; it’s about what bubbles up when they’re stripped of their usual social confines. The pacing feels organic, almost like you're eavesdropping on genuine moments. You see them grapple with identity, friendship, and the awkwardness of growing up. There's no scripted narrative, just real kids in a real situation. The atmosphere is both tense and liberating, and you can’t help but feel the weight of their experiences. It’s definitely distinctive in its approach to documentary filmmaking.

Filmed in a natural setting.Focus on adolescent dynamics.Lacks traditional narrative structure.
