Dylan and Kylie's lives are Utopia and Dystopia. When they are together they are safe, but when they are apart they are in danger. They run from home to Dublin where everything is colour. This is the best mistake of their lives. Kisses has two very charming leads. It is beautifully photographed. I have waited to see this for a long time and I was not disappointed. Kisses is unashamedly sentimental, but not too sweet.

Demasiados momentos con estética de videoclip que podrían haber tenido fuerza visual si tuvieran un sentido dentro de la historia, pero al hacer esta aguas se quedan un tantovacíos. La película cae en demasiados tópicos telefílmicos que lo son, precisamente, porque están presentados con la torpeza y la tosquedad con que lo hacen estos productos televisivos. Los últimos quince minutos son sonrojantes.

One of those rare films that mixes innocence and wonder but also introduces darker elements that naturally occur in life. But still manages to retain that original spirit.

Trouble at home leads to colorful quest for budding couple

By Byron Brubake​r on November 9, 2010

The shifting contrast and saturation of color throughout was used creatively to show the dull/scary home life and exciting/scary life on the streets of the young heroes. Shane as Dylan is a quiet boy…  read review
