Title: A World of Children
Review: Yes, it's well-written, and well-directed. But I'm one of those people who simply does not buy the gimmick, this Neo-noir world inhabited only by adolescents. Adolescent "detective." Adolescent chanteuse. Adolescent femme fatale. Adolescent gangsters. Adolescent everything. The gimmick kills the story--kills it dead. Good writing and good acting can't revive it. I think you have to take teenagers a lot more seriously than I do in order to enjoy this movie. Indeed, you have to take them at least as seriously as they take themselves in this movie (and that's pretty damn seriously).It would have been much better using adult actors. Adult stories need adult actors. I'm not surprised this flick got such poor distribution.
