Kids in Love is a coming-of-age film centered on a group of privileged young adults from affluent families in London. The movie follows the life of Jack (Will Poulter), a recent A-level graduate who is unsure about his future path. The movie begins with Jack hanging out with his two closest friends, Tom and Evelyn, as they celebrate the end of their exams with a night out at a club.

As he navigates through post-graduate life, Jack seems lost and unsure of what he wants to do with his life. His parents are supportive but want him to focus on getting a job while he desires to live life on his own terms. One fine day, he meets Evelyn's beautiful cousin, Freya (Alma Jodorowsky), who has recently returned from her travels, and the two quickly hit it off. Freya introduces Jack to her group of carefree friends, who spend their days partying, taking drugs, painting and playing music. Jack is immediately drawn to their carefree lifestyle and quickly becomes enamoured with their hedonistic ways.

Jack's world evolves quickly as he finds himself drawn into Freya's group's artistic bohemian lifestyle, where he begins to flirt with new ideas and ways of thinking. With his newfound friends, he starts to challenge the suburban conformity that he's grown up with and starts exploring his creativity. He quickly falls in love with life in late-night diners, house parties, bohemian living rooms and galleries, his outlook on life taking on a new lease of life.

However, as he becomes more accustomed to his new situation, his relationship with his old friends begins to suffer. He starts distancing himself from Tom, who has always been over-protective, and Evelyn breaks up with him. Meanwhile, Freya finds herself falling for Tom, leading to a clash that could ruin everything.

The film is a rich representation of teenage life lived in the privileged parts of London, with exquisite direction and visuals, and a magnificent on-screen presence in the form of Will Poulter, who brings nuance and depth to his character. The film is also punctuated by a brilliant soundtrack of contemporary songs that capture the excitement and energy of youth.

One of the core themes of the movie is about the search for identity, portrayed through the main protagonist of Jack. Through his journey of self-discovery, he explores his place in the world, his friendships and his romantic relationships, his dreams and aspirations.
