Storyline

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.

User Reviews

Interesting take on the coming of age movie and a good writing debut

The movie is an interesting take on the coming of age novel. It is a bit too hard to relate to but still a great debut for the co writers. One of the co writers, Preston Thompson, who was only 18 and had never studied film, also did a great job in his acting debut in this film. The only major drawback is the completely unnecessary nudity in the sex scene.
