In the 1990s Los Angeles, a 13-year-old spends his summer navigating between a troubled home life and a crew of new friends he meets at a skate shop.

Critics Consensus

Mid90s tells a clear-eyed yet nostalgic coming-of-age tale that might mark the start of an auspicious new career for debuting writer-director Jonah Hill.

An earnest effort that nonetheless relies too heavily on gimmicks.

2/5

The attempts at authentic stoner dialogue soon become tedious, with too little plot or character development grounding the inanity.

Lending the film considerable ballast is an affecting performance by Sunny Suljic.

3/4

Slender from a narrative standpoint, Mid90s largely succeeds thanks to the authentic characters -- and even more authentic dialogue -- offered by Hill.

In his directorial debut Jonah Hill proves that he understands how adolescence is not just a phase of life, but rather an attitude that carries as a souvenir several scars and several blows that mark us for the rest of our lives. [Full review in Spanish]

Mid90s struggles with an identity, but manages to be entertaining and exotic. The cloud of memories remind all of us of our youth and the life-or-death struggles we went through in order to be the adult at the end of that journey.

Brilliant and relatable. True masterpiece of film making. It felt natural and unscripted. Truly immersing the viewer in the era.

I haven’t seen a coming of age movie in a looooong time. I didn’t know about this one. This is 9 years after it was released and I think they did an excellent job with capturing the time. I loved seeing the younger brother Stevie go through his emotions and reasoning. I also loved the end because it portrays strong social values that reminds of what the 90s were without phones.

Best coming of age story captures the 90s skater in LA vibe very good and had a great message. Even while relying on some cliches

Nostalgic, sad, and all too real the story of "Sunburn" as he travels the world of growing up and relationship pushes this movie into my top 10 of all time. It's honestly an emotional flood and shows that Jonah Hill in my opinion has a spark not in just acting.

All i gotta say is watch this when you have the time. The only downsides I could think of when it comes to this movie is that 1, it isn’t longer, and 2, it spawned a whole new generation of 14-16 year old posers on skateboards. Watch it. Now.
