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.

Strange story of celebrity obsession at its most dangerous. Intriguing but not the best acted.

The initial stages of this film -- just hanging out with Nicole and Jasmine -- are considerably more interesting than the rather strained denouement.

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

Shadows on the Wall

It's an intriguing idea, but the film is too timid and awkward to really get going

Rated: 2/5

Anton Bitel

Film4

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.
