Kids was an absolute masterpiece. This doc is perfect for this era of whine. I wish Larry Clark would have come to Canarsie and made a film about me and my friends.

Good documentary and yes a lot of it paints Larry Clarke and his sidekick, Harmony Korine, in a bad light, but one can't help to think they deserve it after they exploited the main cast.

Larry Clark has always come across as creepy, even though as a photographer I can see why he hang out with his subjects to study every little thing they were doing at the time.

But once he got what he wanted, he bailed and so did Korine. To then show up the way they did at the film festivals sans the leading actors was too obvious of what they had done. But then again listening to Larry at the press conference not being able to even articulate the reasons why he made such a raw movie sums up Larry Clarke.

I think the end reveal was nice. I have to wonder why Justins mother kept who his father was for a long time. Things would have certainly been different if she allowed Justin to know who his real dad was. I guess distance played a huge role as well.

As for the reviewer asking where were the two other girls? Well we know now Chloe was Korines gf and we all know what Korine made Chloe do in front of the camera a decade after this was shot. So it just could be Chloe wanted nothing to do with appearing in this doco because of the trauma she might still being going through after what Korine made her do.

I remember a friend of mine telling me I had to see this movie. An eyeopener on todays youth (in 1995). The movie unsettled me for multiple reasons. Mostly for seeing kids that were left to themselves in 90s NY.

I did not like the initial movie at all and seeing this documentary puts the 1995 movie even more into that perspective (manipulative toxic sensational piece of polarize gar...). The shock value was the big effect on the audience, with giving the impression that, that the younger generation, was going into a bad direction. The 1995 movie looks so much like a documentary. It feels like we are in those kids intimacy, instead of the directors/writers perspective and intellectual property overreach.

I'm happy I saw the documentary, it rectifies what was implied about that group of individuals. Showing a more transparent background and what those kids were trying to build, a pseudo-family, is so much more inspiring and interesting.
