Victoria Segal New Statesman For all the filth and fury, Kidulthood is ultimately a moral film - perhaps a bit too moral, if the children's film workshop ending is anything to go by. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Despite being rather graphic and unflinching in its subject matter, there is a genuine humanity toward its characters. Rated: 3/4 Jan 17, 2009 Full Review Ryan Cracknell Movie Views The fact is, while Kidulthood tries to be raw and gritty, it's really just a mish-mash of events that's missing characters that you genuinely care for or even begin to understand.

Audience Member Kidulthood 17.1.21 Raw. Totally immersive. Great acting. This film makes me question my own life experiences and how they bring a person to this exact point in time from their choices made. And can you change (enough) to break that negative cycle. Some continuity errors. Hope the actors don't get stereo-cast. Checked out some cast members. Did like music, it seems relevant (I think) to the scenes but I don't know alot about music, only that I it felt fitting. Well done Mr Clarke. Hope your other related (trilogy) films make me feel it too!? It's a unique thing watching a film for the first time rather than say a second or tenth, I cant explain it .. it's .. fresh and new .. it's .. art in progress? 8.2/0. D.B. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member fast paced, the music works well throughout and an interesting story. Pretty good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Kidulthood manages to depict the general lives of adolescents during the early 2000s, with gripping and believable acting by the fantastic cast. The film has that dark yet enjoyable tone that gives you knowledge about the daily lives of adolescents and what surrounds them. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This isn't a gangster film (like legend) this is a twat film, but it is still way too good for a under rated film, one of the most truest British films ever to be made, a class film and it is a treat to watch, Noel Clarke shows a different side of him that we regually see in Doctor Who, and all though I hate his character, his acting is top notch and I love it, personally I would hate these characters and I would avoid the dark storylines but watching is so good and in my opinion, this is a proper film to be admired by anyone who's anyone British. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Without doubt a powerful film which accurately portrays the attitude of so many of London's undesirable youth and their disgusting low life moral values. Also strongly shows why this country is in such a mess when these types of low life are actually looked up to by the more decent youth. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member There's times where i think highly of Kidulthood because it does have high points. But sometimes it is manipulative and poorly written. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
