#RichKidProblems

Kids in Love (2016)

Directed by Chris Foggin this film stars Will Poulter, Alma Jodorowsky, Sebastian de Souza and Cara Delevingne. A boy on his gap year starts to question his plans for the future and meets a girl who introduces him to new friends.

While this may be a coming of age film really it reeks of rich kids complaining they have everything handed to them on a plate and the impossibility of any of them working a “real job”. No doubt many young people do suffer existential crises at this point in their lives but this film is so wrapped in privilege it is hard to take the characters seriously. The acting and direction are decent but find it impossible to over come the flaws of the script.


2/5
