Adulthood is a film that sequels the Noel Clarke directed Kidulthood, I ended up watching them the wrong way round and to some extent this actually improved the plot of this film because I spent much of the beginning working out what sort of connections the characters had to the main character "Sam", for some reason I thought that the ...  Read the complete review

Introduction After reviewing its slightly younger brother Kidulthood I have decided to review the follow up and sequel to this which is Adulthood. It is similar to the first film but the characters face what may be considered as more adult problems and issues compared to the original.

Supposedly 6 years after the events from the 2006 film Kidulthood, Sam (Noel Clarke) has since done his time in prison for the manslaughter of Trife. Upon his release he heads to the cemetery where Trife's grave is where he attacked by a member of Trife's family. He warns him that people are after him and his family for what he did six years ago ...  Read the complete review

The original Kidulthood was a serviceable, albeit lazily scripted film about how supposedly poor the conditions are of inner-city kids in London. It totally romanticises this and tries to almost give it a British spin on something like HBO's superb show The Wire. It was well acted enough to work, and the ending was visceral. The sequel, however, ...  Read the complete review

Today I watched the Movie Adulthood, I really enjoyed the movie Kidulthood and thought this would hopefully be just as good. The review is great if you have seen Kidulthood, if you haven't it may spoil the first movie for you.

Having recently watched and reviewed Kidulthood I thought it would just be rude not to watch and review its daddy, Adulthood. Adulthood begins six years down the track from Kidulthood, after naughty naughty Sam is released from the slammer for tickling Trife with a feather or something along those lines. Sam seems to be a completely ...  Read the complete review

After watching the first film 'Kidulthood' it did not seem right to not watch the sequel 'Adulthood', growing up on an estate much similar to the one in the film and knowing such characters in reality I can empathise with some of the character's situations and whilst i do not agree with a lot of what the character's get themselves into, it is a ...  Read the complete review

In 2006, the extremely talented and versatile Noel Clarke worked with director Menhaj Huda to create the cult disturbing film Kidulthood, telling the tale of 1 day in the lives of a group of 15 year olds, threatened by a violent bully on the streets of London. Two years on, and Clarke takes his original script from Kidulthood and creates a sequel, ...  Read the complete review

This sequel is set six years later after the first slice of West London teen madness.

Adulthood is the follow-up to Kidulthood, but here's the only essential thing you need to know: Sam (the lead in Adulthood) killed a fellow school-mate in the first film. Kidulthood is only half as good as Adulthood, so don't watch it unless you read this review and think "wow, this sounds just my cup of tea" (and if you use that ...  Read the complete review

Adulthood. I watched Kidulthood (which is the previous one to Adulthood) The day before Adulthood came out in cinemas. So after watching Kidulthood I expected a lot from AdultHood. More Drugs, More violence, More everything. So I decided to go to cinemas and it was a 'sell out' I never did end up going to the cinemas so I bought it on ...  Read the complete review

I saw kidulthood roughly 4 months ago now and found it very watchable as it really gives you an insight of what life is like for some teenagers and the stuff they get up to. Drugs, Booze, Sex, Violence, Theft, Fights etc.. however its because of all these elements that the film works so well. Anyway kidulthood was widely talked about and many ...  Read the complete review

Personally, i am surprised that this film hasn't got more reviews, because it is one of those films that is a must must must see. Written and directed by the incredible main actor in the film Noel Clarke, it is one of those films that you leave the cinema with mouth left hanging. It's explicit, crude, violent, exactly like the first film, but on a ...  Read the complete review
