Disturbing, dark, low-budget independent film about teen-agers in New York City. The story focuses on Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick), a teen who has a goal to de-flower as many virgins as he can. When one of his old encounters discovers that she is H.I.V.-positive, after only one encounter with a guy, Telly remains undaunted.

Review :

Sexploitation

I championed this film for many years. It was the first real document of the '90s teen skateboard set, and I was taken in by the subject matter. However, scrutiny and a broader understanding of film have more than marred its effect. The gritty 'realism' which supposedly elevated this film from exploitation to art, simply does not withstand any serious prodding. The crux of the story, an HIV infected teenager intending to deflower two thirteen-year-old virgins in the space of one day, is rendered difficult to believe by the casting of Leo Fitzpatrick. Bellow average in the looks department, and with an inarticulate lisp, it's hard to fathom that Leo could bed anyone, let alone two virgins and the tally he boasts of. Furthermore, the aimless youth chic which Larry Clark pioneered is ultimately hollow. Consider that his subsequent films are very hard to defend artistically, and you will struggle to derive real depth from KIDS.

Other less charitable critics have called him "pedophilic" in his sustained exploitation of good looking youth. Whilst not entirely fair, there is something of a dirty old man about him. A shot lingering on a pretty girl's crotch in his latter travesty, Bully, more than deflates the notion of Clark as profound auteur.

The redemptive aspects of KIDS are oddly the most exploitative. The scenes in which a gaggle of unnamed youth huff N02 from balloons, and openly smoke pot from a hollowed out cigar, will ring true to those who experienced adolescence in the last two decades. And the emotional punch at the conclusion still remains, unscathed. It is just an incredibly bitter pill to sallow to concede that Clark was proved right. This generation is wretched.
