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.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 1, 2024

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2024

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

| Jul 19, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2020

It's a bit superfluous, but it's also unassuming, peppered with understated characterizations that fall in line with its ethnographic makeup.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2020

The drawback with Mid90s is how Hill develops the characters and their relationships once the time and settings are established.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 9, 2020

The film is scrappy, rough around the edges but still quite a moving journey through the lives of these damaged kids, who are their own brand of survivors.

| Jul 1, 2020

There's a lot of heady stuff going on here, even if none of it is explored very deeply. But in a way, that's what keeps Mid90s moving.

| Mar 18, 2020

An earnest effort that nonetheless relies too heavily on gimmicks.

| Mar 3, 2020

Although uneven, MID90s has an authentic and unaffected feel that uses certain motifs in an organic and honest way not typical of other films.

| Feb 13, 2020

See it. Mid90s is a visual mixtape of Jordan playing, Tony Hawk flying, and Boom Baps kicking.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 10, 2020

It's honest, emotional without ever being cheesy, and moving. Jonah Hill delivers an electrifying debut.

| Oct 30, 2019

At under an hour and a half this feels like partial story that could become a more fully developed piece when Jonah Hill is more confident as a director.

| Aug 21, 2019

Mid90s has drawn some comparisons to Harmony Korine (who makes a cameo in Hill’s film) and Larry Clark’s Kids, but Hill’s worldview is far less toxic and dangerous...

| Aug 8, 2019

A contradictory mood that is expertly conveyed through a visually harsh staging. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 5, 2019

Mid90s is one of those debuts that signals the beginning of a great directing career for Jonah Hill. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jul 19, 2019

Hill manages to paint - with tenderness and without judgment - the personality of each of the teenagers. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 18, 2019

Mid90s is a brilliant little delight that portrays the ridiculousness of adolescent masculinity, but it's also thoughtful enough to take it seriously.

| Jul 17, 2019

It's a smart, slight tale that stands strong even without the benefit of its famous creator. It's not going to change the face of cinema, but it might just speak to your own mid-Nineties memories.
