Underage

About This Movie

Underage (1982) is this raw, gritty documentary that really captures the chaotic essence of Coventry teens during the early 80s. It’s got this unfiltered approach, showcasing their struggles with identity and belonging, as they turn to glue sniffing and heavy drinking. The pacing feels almost documentary-like, with a fly-on-the-wall perspective that makes you feel like you're right there with them. The kids are a mix of rebellious and lost, and the atmosphere is thick with angst. The way they interact with each other, the police, and their environment feels so genuine. And you can't overlook the soundtrack—Motorhead blasting while they headbang just adds to that rebellious spirit. It’s a time capsule of youth in turmoil, honestly.
