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.

Kidulthood is a film that took me by a surprise considering it is a British film I didn't have much hope even though I am British I find that I just don't seem to enjoy British films as much as American it could be the way I man raised of it could just be that British films are bad I don't know but anyway Kidulthood really shocked me the film is very gripping and bring you a truthful insight on the life of London teenagers in more rough areas. The ending is also a tear jerker and really affective in getting the harsh realitys of that lifestyle across. All the cast plays there roles very well and believable and they all have important parts in the film. This film is very popular we're I live because it unfortunately almost relates to the area I live in. All though the film is abit depressing it's truthful and will keep you entertained to find out more & more.

OK I'm not British, and I may not understand European works of art, but what the hell was this? I saw this on a related video search in YouTube. I was like, "I watch a lot of American hood films, let me see what British chavs do". I feel like I'm wasting my time reviewing this, which I am.I had a headache watching this film. Yet I continued watching it hopefully thinking somehow that the dialogue would calm down, but it didn't. Every other line was 'Whanjasldfhn hsdnaksn, blah!" or "Awghjugnjjv, blah?'.Are kids in England that angry? For no reason? I guess I would be angry too if I lived in a nice house under a generous welfare system and the NHS.And I have to hand it off to the white kid. He is seriously the most annoying character ever made. Yeah, Jar Jar Binks and Short Round have competition.If this was supposed to be an English Boyz N The Hood, it isn't. If it's supposed to be an angry work of art, it's not.

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.
