About This Movie

Damn Kids, set in the oppressive atmosphere of 1983 Chile, offers a raw glimpse into life under Pinochet's rule. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing you to marinate in the tension and despair that permeates Gladys's world. Her character, resolute yet vulnerable, showcases a striking performance that pulls you in. The introduction of Samuel, the missionary with his camera, adds an interesting layer—he's both an observer and a participant, capturing the stark reality of La Victoria. The practical effects and location shooting lend an authenticity that makes the struggle feel immediate. You can almost feel the weight of the dictatorship in every frame, along with the flickers of hope and resilience that emerge. It's a poignant exploration of survival and resistance, driven by strong performances.
