Marco L @decatur555 Oct 22, 2026 Jonah Hill's debut feels less like a conventional coming-of-age story than a memory recovered from an old videotape. Its debt to Kids is obvious in the street-level naturalism, skate culture and unfiltered teenage behaviour, but Mid90s is much warmer and less nihilistic. Sunny Suljic perfectly captures Stevie's desperate need to belong, while the group feels messy, cruel, funny and real rather than written by adults. The excellent music, grainy photography and 4:3 framing make the period feel lived-in rather than recreated. A drunken car ride suddenly reminds these supposedly invincible kids that their choices can have real consequences. Best of all is Fourth Grade's final video: a simple collection of ordinary moments that instantly turns their summer into memory. Rough, tender and genuinely nostalgic without becoming sentimental.

The car crash was a shock surprise, which i never get with high budget movies. A small masterpiece.

The film tries to make you feel nostalgia without really sugar coating the story or it's setting. The script isn't anything revolutional but it gets the job done See more W.L. C @WayneCampbell Jul 17, 2026 It was okay. The L.A. Jonah Hill lived in was a far cry from the semi-rural blue collar towns I lived in during the mid-90s; we had completely different experiences as teens. I applaud his work here, though, and the passion in making this is evident. It was a nice touch to go so far as to shoot on a 16mm Arriflex and framing it in 90s-standard 1.33:1. And, as has been gushed over before, the soundtrack is fantastic.
