1) What was the word-of-mouth like for your chosen film? If you can’t find tweets (probably blocked) use the IMDB user review rating or the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer rating to judge whether the public have given the movie a good review.
From the reviews I've seen I've gathered most ratings out of 10 are either a 7 or higher which is positive. A consumer quoted "Kidulthood was a fantastic film, showing, yes, a different way of life, but a true representation of it. It was actually quite unnerving at how similar life is for my community to that of the film".

I am not sure why this film is getting so many poor ratings. It is an excellent piece of film-making with a cracking script, fine performances and imaginative direction. A real eye opener that deserves a wide audience.
Best movie I've seen in years! Everyone did a fantastic job in making this a realistic and moving film. The storyline addresses the universal struggles that teens experience and made me think deeply about the problems we all face.
