Review of Kids

Kids (1995)
10/10
Great Experimental Movie
14 April 2017
Kids is a great movie about how kids behave away from their parents and in a group. the movie makes no judgments it just observes a group of kids as they go about their day. Larry Clark (Director) and Harmony Korine (Writer) did a great job keeping the movie simple. The movie was well shot it has a dark and gritty look. The language was vulgar but seemed authentic. I though the scenes of the boys and girls discussing sex was well done the cutting back and forth between the two discussions. I also thought the park scene was done well as well, especially the use of music in the fight scene. The cast was good. It was made up of mostly non actors or unknown actors. There was wonderful performances by the four main actors Leo Fitzpatrick, Justin Pierce, Chloe Sevigny, and Rosario Dawson. Kids is not a movie for everyone it is dark and at times uncomfortable to watch especially the opening scene and the last scene. It does however tackle some tough subjects, and shows behavior when you don't think through the consequences. It is a great experimental movie anyone interested in movies should see it. I have seen it a few times and find it more interesting each time. It is Larry Clarks greatest work.
