Kidulthood DVD > Reviews

Advantages: A harrowing depiction of real life in London
Disadvantages: n/a

Kidulthood tells the story of a group of teenagers in West London, their lives at school and at home and the trials that they face every day. The film centres on a potentially sad day in the teenagers lives when they are given the day off from school due to a bullied classmate's suicide. I say potentially only due to the fact that some of the kids seem more happy to have the day off than sad for the loss of one of their own. Now, what to do ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant London Based Film
Disadvantages: None it was really good

...do, when on BBC Three Kidulthood was due to come on, well I had to give it a watch just to see if it was as good as people say it is…well it was brilliant, a well set out film with subjects at matter with teenagers.

This movie could be taken offense by many parents and even teenagers, But the truth ... Read review

Advantages: A VERY strong film!
Disadvantages: N/a

...have never been teenagers. What Kidulthood does is take all the violence, sex and intoxication experienced in a teenage year and condense it into a single day, because that's far more marketable than a film about eight kids spending four hours sitting on the swings wondering what to do." "as potent as a shot of vodka before breakfast - a harrowing, uncompromisingly bleak but thoughtful look at the anguish of being young and poor in Britain." I ... Read review

i watched this film in the cinema when it was released, i wouldnt recomend this movie to anybody that is against violence and teenage gangs, knife and gun crimes and bad language. this was a real eye opener, it made me realise that guns and knifes dont make you look big in front of your friends, they just cause huge amounts of assults and even teen murders.!!!

Advantages: An excellent portrait of what London Teens have to go through
Disadvantages: Strong language and violence

For anybody who wonders what London's teens, or kidults, have to go through in the modern day then this movie will serve as an excellent illustration. The story starts when a bullied school girl commits suicide and her classmates get given a compassionate day off - what follows is a day of violence, guns, knives and trying to survive. There are 5 or 6 main characters with many more supporting and all the roles are acted superbly, especially ... Read review

Advantages: great character performances
Disadvantages: script could have been better..

Kidulthood is a film that follows the day of a group of teenagers that get the day off for as grievance class-mates suicide. The acting in the film is superb and the best i've seen for actors under 18. The plot is very good and the characters wil make you laugh from start to finish. I think that Aml Ameen (Trife) should recieve an award for his performance in the film as it is absolutely outstanding, and the director, Noel Clarke, should also as it ... Read review
