2/5
The initial stages of this film -- just hanging out with Nicole and Jasmine -- are considerably more interesting than the rather strained denouement. Go to Full Review

3/5
It doesn't quite sustain itself all the way through, but Kicks displays an intelligence and verve that are hard to deny. Go to Full Review

Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 07/14/2010
2/5
It's an intriguing idea, but the film is too timid and awkward to really get going Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Film4 06/04/2010
All at once a sensitive coming-of-age drama, a mildly implausible abduction thriller and a bittersweet love letter to Liverpool, Heymann's film plays like This Is England for the celebrity-obsessed Noughties. Go to Full Review

See more 09/10/2012 If you want something shout it out to the universe See more 07/27/2012 Even though some of the scenes are very melodramatic, I did enjoy this comedy about two teenage girls who become friends through their shared adoration of a Liverpool player. There are some very dull bits, but it's worth persevering with because it does step up a gear. See more 07/25/2012 Strange story of celebrity obsession at its most dangerous. Intriguing but not the best acted. See more 04/30/2011 I can't recommend this, I was glad when it finished See more 03/11/2011 Absolutely appalling!Mildly gripping once the footballer arrived on the scene...Otherwise, pap.
