Leave your thoughts about mid90s.
| Deadline Hollywood DailyPete HammondJonah Hill makes a sensational writing/directing debut in a coming of age story quite unlike any other in recent times. Sunny Suljic is a kid you will remember. |
| SlashfilmMarshall ShafferMid90s feels like Jonah Hill's soul pouring out on screen, an authentic and unfettered expression of maturation and belonging. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonWhile it relishes in the mischief and mayhem of its setting, the film is just as adept at using its coming-of-age framework to convey hardships and insecurities. |
| Butaca AnchaErick OrtizHill has begun his career as a director in a remarkable way. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversNear the end, Hill boxes himself into a sentimental corner that takes a little off the film’s edge. But before that, Mid90s bristles with fun, feeling and the exhilaration that comes with risking life’s hairpin turns. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanA terrific coming-of-age film from first-time director Jonah Hill. Sharp-eyed, tender and wise. |
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaGo see this movie. Take your pre-teen who’s going through an awkward phase to see it (if you let them watch stuff with bad language and underage drinking, I should say). Or if you were a kid who came of age in the actual mid 90’s, this will give you an aching nostalgia for your youth. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereWriter-director Jonah Hill's hip-hop "Tom Sawyer" tribute to his rough SoCal childhood may be one the year's best. Great ensemble cast. |
| Cinematic ConsiderationsMatt WardBrutal and uncompromising, Mid90s packs more emotional punch than would be expected of a slacker skater movie. |
| Crooked MarqueeEric D. SniderPredictable or not, it boasts endearing performances, a spot-on soundtrack, and smooth direction by Hill. |
