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.

Kathleen Sachs

Chicago Reader

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

Independent (UK)

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

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.

Rated: B+

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.

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

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.

Well acted by a young inexperienced cast and well directed. A good look into skateworld and coming of age in California.
