Diagonaldi Very well executed

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

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

itstimetorecover Clique set in and around Edinburgh University. I was a post grad there in the dark ages. The series is compelling pseudo art house that's let down by its crude stereotyping and senseless facile characters. Everyone in the series is drinking and eating themselves into an early grave. Yet, none of them are overweight. All the men and women are perfect shapes which is shockingly inaccurate. That's fine in a fantasy series but Clique series perports to be realistic and yet none of the characters are realistic they are all stereotypes that only exist in TV and film. There's a compete absence of any disabled people in clique. Once again this doesn't easily fit in with a series begging to be taken seriously. None of the characters are likeable. Quite the opposite. And yet behind all of this there's a decent, compelling storyline. It's almost lost in the bland and pretentious people in the series. My problem with clique that it's written by the type of arty people who decry stereotyping in society. However, they've made a series that does the very thing they'd decry in other series. There's not a single character in the series that is real or remotely likeable. To conclude. I'm very ambivalent about clique. On the one hand it's full of vile characters whom the writers try and pass off as being real. Whilst on the other hand there's a compelling series begging to be taken seriously. Maybe I've missed the point of clique. Or maybe the point is that clique is just a sea of stereotypes where it's characters are all physically perfect who can eat and drink as much as they want. They can take as many drugs as they want and there's sex in every closet. They can do all of these things with impunity. Life isn't like that. Clique is trying to present itself as a reflection of life today. It wants to be taken seriously It's impossible to take it seriously. And yet I watch it.

Eleanor Found the plot incredibly engaging and complex. It draws you in and you won't be able to stop watching until you've finished the series. Characters are complex and are very well acted with strong leads. The tone is dark whilst still maintaining some lighter moments. Overall a good watch that is thought compelling and exciting at the same time. Worth the time!

ovuncozbey The series open up into a venture of passage to adulthood. Two childhood friends reinvent their desires and are challenged by their past. Some figures -posing as role models and such- intrigue these two friends. And, in a few episodes, we witness the development of a not so basic but more complex story line, with a thread of problems to be solved. All the while, the show encourages the viewer to reflect on themselves via its story line and most importantly does not lose its simplistic beauty. Youth, drama, crime can rarely be subtly and properly synthesized like this.

peterrichboy I didn't go to university but if I did I wouldn't have minded going to the one in Clique. Rather like Julia Brittains previous show Skins set in a sixth form college in Bristol. The students are on a mission to have as much sex do as many drugs and booze as possible. No need to worry about student grants here as most are filthy rich and parade in designer clothes and drive luxury cars. Whilst this may not be an accurate portrayal of student life there is enough going on to keep the viewers interested. And like it's predecessor Skilns there is some fine young acting talent on display in particular Synovve Karlson who along with stunning looks has a bright future ahead.
