I understand those that don’t like Kids, I was the same until now. It’s such an authentic, raw, and real experience that it’s hard for me not to appreciate it. 

<p>I think Harmony Korine might be at his best here, but it’s not my favourite, not yet. Again, probably why I’m so drawn to him but this another very real and authentic film. This is him working at his emotional peak, his other films are depressing sure, but this left a pit in my stomach and hit me harder than his other works.</p>

I love stylised films, and while Julien Donkey-Boy is his best film emotionally, this is his best film stylistically, there’s not many films that offer an experience as unique as this one. I can’t talk about Gummo without mentioning the soundtrack holy shit, bonus points there. Another very raw and real film. I think what makes Harmony Korine so great is that he gives the spotlight to people often overlooked in a very authentic way.<br>
