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+

A sturdy feature that respectfully relies on visual storytelling, and has clearly also come from a place of passion.

Rated: 4/5

Man, this is a dark movie. I expected a fun coming of age movie with some retro 90's music. This is a movie about a bunch of young adults using skateboarding as an escape from their trauma. It is a good story but do not expect a fun trip through the 90's.

I watched this movie, and I loved it. It really ported this story really well. I think all A24 films have really good depth and a really good storyline, and this one definitely supported that theory. It was a shorter movie, but I think it did everything it needed to.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Nearly perfectly encapsulates the feeling and vibe of being not only this age in this time period, but what its like to be hanging out with older friends as well. I've never skated in my life, yet I relate whole-heartedly with the feelings those experiences in this film give you.

Mid90’s was an enjoyable, and short movie. It really shined in its nostalgic aspects and had a few funny moments. When scenes needed to be tense, they were. Had a fun watch and I have rewatched twice, I do recommend.

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.
