I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

In the shortest possible way Licks is what moonlight wanted to be. Now I saw moonlight before I saw Licks and the movie just ended and it leaves you wondering what were they trying to show you what was the movie about. when you watch Licks you know left fulfilled it brings you there and back and around again this is flick you that is worth its weight and some and I came across it by chance just saying you should give it a chance. I gave it 7/10 only because I critique thing a little to much that's just me the acting at times gets a little less than good that is the nicest way I can put it. yet I send mads love to all the actors and actresses well cause I cant do it. good movie great story

I've seen this movie at least 7 times, and every time it was like seeing it for the first. Great movie, well put together, you forget that it's an indie film, the story develops in a timely fashion, and the plot twist keep you guessing. If you are a fan of the urban coming of age tales such as Boyz in da Hood or Menace II Society Licks is definitely worth a watch. I've brought numerous friends to see this film and they've all loved. Anyone who has seen the trailer is instantly addicted and can't wait to see the film for themselves. Being an Oakland native the references to non-tourist bay area locations and use of local music also adds to the lure of the film, but is only a great additive. Licks is for sure a cult classic in the making.
