A sincere, brave and very unique look at the hardships of being not only a star but simply, a teenager, in the '90s.

Frye adeptly mixes lighthearted nostalgia with deeper insight.

| Apr 21, 2021

Kid 90 shows the extent to which being subject to this strange life can also lead to the creation of powerful and lasting bonds with those experiencing it alongside you.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 5, 2021

Breezy on the surface, brutal underneath.

Kid 90 is a grainy slice of nostalgia set to a Pearl Jam and Cranberries infused soundtrack, which will have you yearning to pull out the photo album, while fondly thumbing through your own past.

| Mar 24, 2021

It feels very small and kind of a vanity project.

| Mar 22, 2021

It seems a little too polished and polite despite the fun of seeing these totally off-the-cuff home video footage of all these other actors.

| Mar 22, 2021

A bittersweet paean to youth, Kid 90 (directed by Soleil Moon Frye) is like opening the cool kid's journal, and that's exactly what it is.

| Mar 19, 2021

The film ricochets between Frye's individual experience and that of her peers, undulating through sharp and shifty emotional overtures that leave the film feeling unorganized.

| Original Score: 7.1/10 | Mar 17, 2021

It's a shaky documentary, but a tremendous time capsule, with Frye bravely exposing her adolescent pain, trying to make sense of it all 25 years later.

| Original Score: B | Mar 17, 2021

We've seen a fair number of stories focused on the adult struggles of child stars, but Kid 90 is something a little different...a compelling, if not entirely complete portrait of the path taken by one child star on her way to adulthood.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2021

Frye's desire to learn what she can from her unusual childhood in the spotlight is unquestionably sincere, but the recollections and reflections she's willing to impart perhaps belong more in a diary than a documentary.

| Mar 15, 2021

However obnoxiously edited, it's pretty much impossible not to be moved by what we're watching.

| Mar 15, 2021

Soleil Moon Frye provides a candid glimpse -- but just a glimpse -- at a generation of child actors surviving stardom in Kid 90.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 15, 2021

Frye's documentary is an insider's account of a pre-#MeToo world where young stars were turned into hyper-sexualized products, while still grappling with the experiences of growing up.

| Mar 15, 2021

The actress-turned-filmmaker analyzes her personal journey from an enlightened perspective.

| Mar 14, 2021

Holy Macanoli! Kudos to Soleil Moon Frye for taping her teen years with all the ups /downs. It seems there may be more to the story, but it's a throwback to nostalgic youth.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 14, 2021

I wish [director] Frye would have chosen a path and stuck with it, offering a more cohesive, coherent, less opportunistic movie.

| Mar 13, 2021

Even if Frye covers some painful territory, there's something joyous about Kid 90.

| Mar 13, 2021

It would have been nice if the 72-minute film had expanded to fill in that gap, but Kid 90 is still a valuable and unique rewind glimpse of what it was like to be a teenage celebrity in the pre-Instagram era.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2021
