Set against the backdrop of an underground, bohemian London, Kids In Love offers a new take on the traditional coming of age story. Drifting through his gap year with internships and travel plans, Jack (Will Poulter) has always suspected there was more to life than this. A chance encounter with the beautiful and ethereal Evelyn (Alma Jodorowsky) and her friends, including free spirited Viola (Cara Delevingne), swerves his life radically off course. She is like no one he's ever met before, and he quickly becomes caught up in a whirlwind of all-day parties and wild nights in London's hidden dives with her charismatic friends. Giving up everything to follow Evelyn and her hedonistic lifestyle, it takes Jack a while to realise what he's leaving behind, that love isn't a game you want to lose and that these people might not be the kindred spirits he first thought.
Leave your thoughts about Kids in Love.
| The MacGuffinBrooke CorsoKids in Love treads the line between a video commercial for Anthropologie and the creeping anxiety of reality and adulthood that threaten to crash the funky, bohemian party of a group of London teens. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeNot a piece written by an adult looking back with an affectionate, wiser eye on their youth, but by youngsters living out this lifestyle now. Though that can be to the film's detriment in parts, it also adds significantly to the film's undeniable charm. |
| GuardianMike McCahillIt remains a sincere, sweet-minded venture: one of those debuts in which characters and film-makers appear to be finding themselves before your very eyes. |
| Radio TimesStephen CartyPoulter remains likeable and engaging throughout. Undoubtedly, his performance is the main reason for watching Kids In Love ... |
| Total FilmJames MottramMessy for sure, and the boho backdrop will alienate/irritate, but Foggin adeptly captures the flush of first love. |
| Movie TalkJason BestNot everyone will be charmed by the film's uncritical depiction of upper-crust privilege, but the ever-watchable Poulter holds things together, while Cara Delevingne, perfectly at home in this milieu, adds her customary boho chic in a supporting role. |
| The ListHannah McGillThere's escapism, and then there's promoting vanity, self-interest and idleness like they're enviable lifestyle choices. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsTravis HopsonIt has all of the ambition and vanity of a perfume ad and the beautiful cast to film one |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoFlat coming-of-age film has cursing, sex. |
| Alternative LensJennifer HeatonKids in Love often resembles a Gap or Budweiser commercial more than it does a feature film. |
