Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
conorpatfitzgerald The movie is an interesting take on the coming of age novel. It is a bit too hard to relate to but still a great debut for the co writers. One of the co writers, Preston Thompson, who was only 18 and had never studied film, also did a great job in his acting debut in this film. The only major drawback is the completely unnecessary nudity in the sex scene.
Prismark10 What better contrast to those urban gritty dramas about young Londoners set in the tower blocks than Kids in Love which is about posh young Londoners living in Notting Hill or similar.Will Poulter plays college student Jack taking a gap year, do some work and earn money to travel to south America with his friends.Like a lot of teenagers he is unsure of what he wants to do with his life but he certainly does not want to do an internship in a law firm that his father has arranged.What he does engage in is a bohemian lifestyle partying in London, taking drugs and having sex and falling out with his friends, because now he does not want to go travelling. This turn of events is caused by meeting French free spirited artist Evelyn (Alma Jodorowsky) who lives in a rundown Hackney townhouse with other alternative arty types such as Viola (Cara Delevingne) and Evelyn also has an on/off boyfriend who also might be a drug dealer.Refreshing as it might be to see a different perspective of Londoners (the white middle class type.) There is little drama and little that happens in this coming of age tale where Jack's loyalties with his friends are tested. A good natural performance from Will Poulter is the only recommendation in this empty story.
scott_thompson7454 Came across this snoozefest on Sky Movies and gave it a chance because the lead actor was good in Wild Bill. He tries his best here but struggles with a lifeless script and by the numbers direction. Anyhoo, the plot (what there is of it)...Boring posh boy from London wants to find himself during his gap year, but his parents would rather he joined a law firm (oh, boo hoo). Said drip then starts following around a bunch of boring posh boys and girls, after he gets the hots for a cute but boring French chick who comes out with profound things like, "I don't want to spend my life doing something I don't like. It's not always easy." And they say homeless people have it tough! Nothing much happens after that. End of film.
Jayce Diaz This isn't so much a review as more of a question.Does Milo run a prostitute ring and is that where he was dropping those two young boys off at a man's home who ordered young, male prostitutes or am I completely missing something?If that is not his job, then can someone please inform me what exactly his job is because it was never stated in the movie. Thank you.I need 10 lines of text and I can't post this without 10 lines but really I just NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWER. It will deeply bother me.
