Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

grooveF111 an enjoyable, and reasonably well-written teenage drama only slightly impaired by the fact that it's lead was as good as an actress as she was a carpenter.Akin to one of those welcome but straightforward coming-of-age tales of the fifties or sixties – usually starring James Dean – the Australian film Delinquents, based on the book of the same name, centers on two star-crossed lovers, Lola (Minogue) and yankie Brownie (Charlie Schlatter). They, much like Minogue's plans for a burgeoning film career, seemed doomed from the beginning – they come from opposite sides of the tracks, their parents have their own plans for both offspring, and, well, you've regrettably got to have a little bit of green to go with the stout heart if you're to make a relationship work. She looks peachy, but Minogue doesn't prove to be anything more than a former soapstar in the lead role. Schlatter, best known at the time for his roles in clunky comedies like 18 Again and the lead in the TV spin-off of Ferris Bueller, didn't fare much better. Thankfully, the supporting cast, which included solid Australian talent like Angela Punch McGregor and Bruno Lawrence, was as fine as silver and help the film escape it's boggy areas. In addition, the film's got a terrific soundtrack – largely Australian artists – that help proceedings kick along in an active and melodious fashion.

stephen kehoe (impossiblehim) MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS Back in 1989 Kylie Minogue had only been a pop star for just over a year...although to me she had already been around for years because i idolised her. So it was really exciting for me, as a fan to see a whole film featuring my favourite girl Kylie.This is a very simple story of forbidden love in a world where no one seems to care, our 2 lovebirds encounter many obstacles in their pursuit to simply 'be together' and it is that that gives the film it's most romantic elements. Along the way we see the lovebirds mature and change as characters and watch how they unravel whenever they are kept apart. Both come from broken homes and seem lost and in search of love making the viewer root for them and hope for a happy ending. ...some would call the film long-winded and a bit boring but if you want to watch a film without all the twists and turns and silly Hollywood glitz then check it out. This is a film that tries it's best to create a real love story and for that i think it deserves a bit of praise....and Kylie really puts her heart and soul into bringing Lola to life and i think she pulls it off extremely well and at times she nails it to perfection. A fine effort all round.

truly_potts I just saw this film very recently, I don't know why I never saw it sooner. Kylie looks like she was just out of Neighbours and can really blow your socks off acting. I thought the way she transcended from girl to women was very effective.Charlie I knew from Diagnous Murder so I knew he could do comedy, but he played the love interest very well, and seemly thought out the character very well.The rest of the cast were superb I don't know they're work personally but they had me from the get go.The Mavis and Lyle Situation was lovely. Two people who knew what it felt for to be each others true loves.It was a great film and as much as I like Kylie as an entertainer, I would love to see her act again, maybe the roles reversed she being the strict one.Go and rent it out, it is a lovely thought out film.

jamieblondie I quite liked this movie. Its a bit feeble but its alright. They obviously used Kylie because of her superstar status and maybe she isn't the best choice but she pulls it off quite well. I liked it when the woman who takes Lola in teaches her manners. Her hair looks really dodgy when she bleaches it though. All in all not bad but it could've been better.
