Kids

About This Movie

Larry Clark's 'Kids' is raw and unfiltered, really capturing the chaotic energy of 90s youth culture in NYC. The film feels almost documentary-like, with its handheld camerawork and authentic performances from a largely non-professional cast. It dives into some heavy themes—sexual exploration, drug use, and the often harsh realities of teenage life. The pacing can feel relentless, reflecting the characters' impulsive lifestyles. What sets it apart is its unflinching honesty and the way it doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths. Definitely not for everyone, but it’s a stark snapshot of a moment in time, one that lingers long after the credits roll.
