Kathleen Sachs Chicago Reader An earnest effort that nonetheless relies too heavily on gimmicks. Mar 3, 2020 Full Review 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 Apr 14, 2019 Full Review Patrick Smith Independent (UK) Lending the film considerable ballast is an affecting performance by Sunny Suljic. Rated: 3/5 Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Max Greene InSession Film 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. Rated: B+ Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) A sturdy feature that respectfully relies on visual storytelling, and has clearly also come from a place of passion. Rated: 4/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Akos Peterbencze 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.

Audience Member The style was cool, very good acting Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Octavian M This was the first time I have ever seen this movie. I thought it'd be dumb at first but then it was like how I was when I was 13. Like I've done a lot of that dumb stuff and had friends just like them and it was so relatable to my life. When I was watching it, it felt like it was going so fast but no the movie is like an hour and 30 minutes long. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Jerrod G Years later still holds up, I believe the movie has many qualities of friendship, character and coming of age. The lack of plot still keeps you watching Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Audience Member this is personally one of my favorite films.It displays the rawness of some real life experiences of different types of abuse and loss.It shows some of my own adolescence and makes you feel nostalgic of something you haven’t even experienced. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Jacob C One of my favorite movies, changed my perspective on friendships and growing up in general. so one of a kind and definitely a must watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Laurie F Well acted by a young inexperienced cast and well directed. A good look into skateworld and coming of age in California. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
