Our take
A defining film of 90s American independent cinema, Kids is full of eye-opening, unsentimental insights into the lives of New York teenagers. The first film credit for screenwriter Harmony Korine (just 19 years old), and much of its ensemble cast, including Chloë Sevigny and Rosario Dawson.
