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.

Fun movie that has Harmony Korine (Kids and Gummo) vibes to it. Almost 4 stars... for me.

If I had watched this movie when it was first released, it would have gotten a passing grade. But fast forward several years later to when the tabloids circulated the news of John Hill's toxic behavior with his former relationship with surfer Sarah Brady, and my perspective of this movie is skewed forever. I cannot hear the dialogue in this movie without directly connecting it to the stories about his behavior in real life.

The Great John A

Wow what a bunch of garbage this was! It seems like Jonah hill got a bunch of kids from the street and decided not to put them in the film only to be threatened by firearms by the kids so he eventually obliged to their needs. Terrible acting, terrible plot and terrible direction! Never liked Jonah hill and in director chair is even worse. Overall would not recommend, Don't listen to the critics in this one. Especially that implied sex scene.... *shudders* Grade: D

An earnest effort that nonetheless relies too heavily on gimmicks.

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

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

Rated: 2/5

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

Vulnerable Man (Medium)

Jonah Hill’s directorial debut resonates on many levels with Millennials and finds a way to embrace a specific type of vulnerability.

Flick Feast

There is a rawness to the film that is reminiscent of Larry Clark’s Kids. Although it is not as extreme or exploitative, it is honest in its portrayal of youth culture at the time.

Rated: 4/5

Flickering Myth

When there's this much style and affection on show, it's a shame that the directorial perspective doesn't have the sophistication to match.
