This film is awesome, the first one, kidulthood, was amazing, but I would say this one is better, I love the morals behind it, and how a person can change due to their experiences! Amazing!!

  Yeah blood you know what i mean innit?

Another good film by Noel Clarke. I watched Kidulthood one week before Adulthood and I have to say I preferred Kidulthood. This sequel seems to lack the energy and liveliness of Kidulthood. Oddly, Kidulthood seemed more 'adult' than this one, too.

The villain of Kidulthood is portrayed as the 'good guy' in Adulthood. A bold decision by Noel Clarke, and I'm not sure it quite pays off. I couldn't allow myself to root for him in this. It was uncomfortable viewing - in a good way, some might say.

This film does a great job of portraying the pains of growing up, the awkwardness of drifting apart from your school mates, and the mental and physical scars that violence leaves behind.

Definitely worth seeing after Kidulthood, but the tone is different and its not as much fun to watch. Some very good scenes though.

Adulthood is a good film. There's lots of action, an okay story line and a lot of suspense. As the film climaxes it will have you on the edge of your seat. At times Adulthood is brutal but still realistic. At times the film is a little sketchy but overall worth a watch. Must admit i did prefer the approach taken by 'La Haine', A French film that focuses on similar issues.

Although at first glance this film does not look like everyone's cup of tea; it should certainly be given a chance, and you never know it might surprise you and at such a low price the opportunity should be taken.
I watched both this and Kidulthood with my 40year old mother and she was taken aback that she actually found the films of a descent standard and dare say she enjoyed them.
Should certainly check it out

  KIDULTHOOD AND ADULTHOOD=AMAZING!!!!!

to me this movie never had the same feel to the first one , it was ok same sort of story fighting , stealing , sex and drugs just the difference is Sam is on the trail to find out who wants him dead , also like the first its a one time watch but well done again to Noel Clark

  After Kidulthood comes Adulthood

What a great follow up from one of the best British movies made. This does roughly the same job at highlighting the problems with youths of today but is different ways, I find this a bit more emotional than the first, as Sam just wants to get on with life now as his grown up while being in a "big man jail". I'm glad Noel Clarke has confirmed there won't be a third but was also glad when he said that he has more projects lined up for the actors and himself in other films. I for one can't wait to see Adam Deacon, Noel Clarke, and maybe Femi Oyeniran (Moony) and Aml Ameen (Trife) in other gritty British dramas soon hopefully.
