Reviews & comments
Variety
pressDisturbing precisely because it is so believable, Kids goes well beyond any previous American film in frankly describing the lives of at least a certain group of modern teenagers.
Time Out
pressThe film may not say anything new, but the way it says it does, in the end, make it some sort of landmark. Depressing.
Los Angeles Times
pressIt may be too late to save you from "Kids." Not save in the moral sense, because, as New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker famously commented, "No one was ever ruined by a book." Or a movie. But bored, bored is a different matter.
