Teenage Kicks is an Australian drama film, directed by Craig Boreham and released in 2016.

[1] The film was directed by Craig Boreham, with cinematography by longtime collaborator and friend Bonnie Elliott.

[3] Luke Buckmaster of The Guardian, giving the film 4 stars out of 5, wrote that Boreham was "a compelling new voice in queer Australian cinema", and praised Elliott's cinematography, saying it was "well suited to the unstable-feeling nature of the drama, helps pull the film away from social realist impulses to a more stylistic palette" and saying that she was "emerging – if she hasn’t already – as one of Australian cinema's finest sharp eyes".

[5] Composer David Barber received an AACTA Award nomination for Best Original Music Score at the 6th AACTA Awards,[6] and Boreham received an Australian Directors' Guild nomination for Best Direction in a Feature Film.
