Watch Kidulthood For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Although this film demonstrates highly inappropriate scenes and moments which aren't suitable for people under 12, it really does show the consequences of real life and choices. I live in London and this film is extremely accurate with the actions of young people nowadays in London, especially the fact those kids use drugs and give blowjobs to get drugs which is extremely unacceptable. Ignore the low rating because this film has it all it takes to portray londoners nowadays. Noel Clarke is just the best at writing a story about this, especially his acting. To me, he portrays his character smartly and accurately. Aml Ameen's character is one of the best, it's just sad to see him die at the end but that shows the consequences if you are part of trouble these days. The majority of the characters are 15-16 years old, it's just unacceptable to see them do inappropriate choices that can damage their body.. They have a choice whether to have a better future or to just die alone and be addicted to drugs. I just love this film truly, it portrays real life in London and shows that we teenagers need to make better choices than those characters.Kidulthood, the film that reflects real life in a city.

In my opinion one of the best British films ever made. My top two British films may be controversial to most "The Hole" and "Kidulthood".Noel Clarke has created a gritty a most importantly REAL representation of what growing up in the UK is like at the moment. I was 16 when this film was released, making me around the same age as the characters. Perhaps I can relate more to this film having seen two of my friends stabbed, neither killed, and many violent actions on the streets of my estate. I do feel though, that with Clarke's script comes a hard hitting and powerful movie about teenagers in the UK trying to fit in and avoid confrontation which, unfortunately comes due to everybody trying to fit in and be top dog.If anyone from the older generation wonders what it's actually like growing up in Britain today, I can't recommend this film highly enough.

I never got into Kiduthood, the way the movie betrays how everyone as 'heroes' of some sort and people to look up too with the limelight, like we already know who the good and bad guys from the beginning and how we are challenged that the good character are the way of life.The protagonists aren't as great either and are not really likable. There more of the actors who are the good guys but not the character themselves.The endless amount and the effort of trouble most of the character while wearing their urban street gear, tools of violence and negative influences surrounding them does make it challenge to watch and there are the 'Sorry, I got caught moments so I'll change' and the 'You got lucky and it will never happen again' which comes across as unrealistic! It does tie into together and for a movie anyways however it still as average and sometimes I ask how the character are even living their lives.The story and the massive amount of drama makes it worth the watch and the movie makes the characters work together to put an end of what's going on in the movie. A bit over dramatic however it works and the ending is satisfying.

This drama film about London youths is bleak, depressing, violent, shocking and simultaneously deep, stylish and witty. Much like the characters portrayed in the film, you think you what is going on and that you've seen it all before. The greatest strength of the film is not letting you down in that respect by delivering what you expect whilst at the same time, providing a bit more dimension and depth than you'd expect.When a girl at at a West London school kills herself because of bullying, the students are given a day off for mourning and this film is about that 24 hour period. Needless to say, there is not much mourning done by the principle characters as they prepare for a house party in the evening and on the way they drink, do drugs, rob, flirt and do sexy things.Without wishing to sounds like the old man I'm not, considering the film follows the exploits of these characters and they are meant to be around 15 years old, they do a lot of dubious and highly illegal activities. However, as I mentioned earlier, whilst you initially see the characters and judge them instantly as hoodies/thugs etc, throughout the film it is made clear that everyone has a surprisingly deep character, something which I started to notice more and more as the film went on.The tone of the film is pretty unrelenting though in its approaches of violence and revenge, something which may be in place to put the viewers in a similar state of mind as the characters. However, the effect of all this is that film operates mostly as a diary of single events with not much narrative driving each event. It ends up being 'meet up - flirt with lady - rob short - beat up man' without a consistent narrative drive linking each event together.That being said, the film is remarkably well acted and directed. A directorial style is present which propels the film along and keeps the various characters and their stories linked together. Add to this a fiery soundtrack of UK rap (Dizzee rascal et al.) and you have a style of film that adds onto the power of the events themselves.All in all, a potent and thought provoking look at inner city London.
