Kids - Thought it was quite rubbish tbh. I didn't find it "shocking" or "controversial" or anything like that. All I remember thinking the entire film was "Not a single character in this film is likeable" The film conjures up no feelings other than "What a sack of cunts these lot are"

I think that's kind of the point of the film.

 

All the kids are disaffected 'yoof' going nowhere and not caring, because, let's face it, it's a bit shit when you realise you're not immortal and the world is a cruel dark and disgusting place, save a few speckles of joy interwind with the drudgery that is the lot of all ordinary folk, and that the world owes you fuck all.

 

I quite like it, but the follow up 'Bully' is fucking abysmal.

Regardless of whether or not that's the point of the film, I personally feel that if you're not going to have likeable characters, you better have a damn good story and I don't think the film had that either.

 

I don't think it's a terrible film, maybe "rubbish" was quite harsh and maybe I went in expecting too much due to praise from one of my best mates, but I wasn't a fan. Certainly wouldn't watch it again.

A forgotten generation waltzes aimlessly towards the grave, only for that journey to be hastened by a massive dose of the hiv, bleak and challenging for a generation with only, drugs, booze, casual sex, anti-heroes and despondency to look forward to, definitely not a comedy.

 

It's not a classic, maybe a time and place type film, but it really appealed to me and my friends at the time who were living very similar lives, sans the bad shithouse AIDS obvs.

That is surprising in a good way' date=' I have seen ads for this all week and it looks shit. Why did they feel the need to say from the makers of In Bruge? I have never watched that but it too sounds shit.[/quote']

 

In a good way. The trailer makes it look like a goofy comedy about dognapping, there's far more to it than that. In Bruges is probably my favourite film of the last ten years, so maybe i'm biased.
