This 1995 film is about a day in the life of a group of young teens. Although the film is centred on a boy called Telly, who has an obssestion with sex and enjoys taking girl’s virginity. Telly’s actions are soon to affect one of his virgin girls, when she contracts the diseased HIV. The movie provides a scope, into the life of young teenagers growing up in today’s society, but from an unexpected angle. This movie sheds light on related teenage issues such as sex, drugs and peer pressure. I found the film very disturbing to watch, as although it was not explicit, the actions and behaviour of the teengers, acting like real teenagers was enough to make me feel uncomfortable. I believe this film should be aimed at parents to aware them of the kinds of things children can get up to behind close doors. There have been many critisisms about the film, which vary in its review. However, one critic stated that “Kids" is the kind of movie that needs to be talked about afterward", to which I strongly agree.
