Kathleen Sachs Chicago Reader 03/03/2020
An earnest effort that nonetheless relies too heavily on gimmicks. Go to Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) 04/14/2019
2/5
The attempts at authentic stoner dialogue soon become tedious, with too little plot or character development grounding the inanity. Go to Full Review Patrick Smith Independent (UK) 04/12/2019
3/5
Lending the film considerable ballast is an affecting performance by Sunny Suljic. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Nov 11

Slender from a narrative standpoint, Mid90s largely succeeds thanks to the authentic characters -- and even more authentic dialogue -- offered by Hill. Go to Full Review Nicolás Medina Peliplat May 10
10/10
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.

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

din d @L1J2K3 1d Nostalgic, sad, and all too read the story of "Sunburn" as he travels the world of growing up and relationship pushes this movie into my top 10 of all time. It's honestly an emotional flood and shows that Jonah Hill in my opinion has a spark not in just acting. See more munci33__ @debil__ Feb 7 All i gotta say is watch this when you have the time. The only downsides I could think of when it comes to this movie is that 1, it isn’t longer, and 2, it spawned a whole new generation of 14-16 year old posers on skateboards. Watch it. Now.

Would definitely recommend, watched it multiple times. See more Jurassic P Nov 30 This movie is weird too me - not in a bad way. I didn't really like the film until it got real about 30 minutes before it ended, then I kind of fell in love with it. Specifcally though, the acting, the dialogue, the story, and the cinematography didn't quite work with me for the first (almost) hour. It felt a little out of place and kind of cheesy, but then the film took a turn when things kind of fell apart for the group and that's when everything (the cinematography, acting, dialogue, story) kind of fell into place and really made me connect with it. I also didn't like the harsh cut off of an ending but was fine with it mostly because of the thirty minutes that came before it. In all, this is a film that takes time for you to actually be interested in it, maybe even multiple watches. In the end though, the film made me rethink a lot of things and maybe me feel a ton of different emotions, whether I liked the first hour or not. See more Craig K @Cracky Nov 18 Loved this movie. SO genuine and real to life well directed and acted. You really felt connected to the characters and story. See more Read all reviews
