None of the advance hype on Kids can prepare you for the raw, stripped-down reality that Larry Clark captures in his astonishing first film.

Kids is the kind of movie that needs to be talked about afterward.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Kids shows what transpires when children are set adrift in a heartless world, and warns us what happens -- and is already happening -- in the absence of love and guidance.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
