Teenage Kicks

2016

Johnny's comments:

Teenage Kicks is a drama about Miklós (Miles Szanto), a teenage boy who's sick of his family and is planning on going north with his best friend Dan (Daniel Webber), who he has a major crush on and is not sure if he would reciprocate. One day, Miklós spies his brother in a comprising position and then he runs off. During the ensuing chase, Miklós's brother is hit by a car and dies. His brother's death alienates him further from his family but finds a friend in his brother's pregnant girlfriend Annuska (Shari Sebbens). His friendship with Dan hits a roadblock when Dan introduces his new girlfriend Phaedra (Charlotte Best) and she becomes problem for Miklós, particularly when they have a brief fling. Miklós also finds refuge with a group of junkies which unleashes his homosexuality as well as getting him involved with drugs. Can Miklós get back on track with Dan and his family?

An extension of the short film Drowning with the same lead actor, Teenage Kicks is a pretty solid feature debut about a teenage boy struggling to find his way after a tragedy. Worth a look if you're into coming-of-age teenage dramas with a gay slant.
