I remember watching Kids when it first came out. I was in high school at the time. Even my angsty teenaged self was like, "Jesus Christ, do inner city kids really act like this?" Lol
All of Larry Clark's movies are like that, honestly. Graphic, surreal, edgy, cliched caricatures that he somehow turns into very realistic characters simply with dialogue (he's truly gifted in that regard). If you thought Kids was something, check out Bully with Brad Renfro, Nick Stahl, and Michael Pitt. It's also a Larry Clark movie and I'm pretty sure it's based on a true story. That movie is so messed up you almost feel like you need a shower after viewing it.
