- Ravi Oliveira-1 jSynopsis: Stevie, 13, lives in Los Angeles and spends the summer juggling his turbulent family life with the new group of friends he meets at the Motor Avenue skate shop. Review: "Mid90s" is a subtle masterpiece that stands out not only for its captivating narrative but also for how it captures the essence of being a teenager in the 1990s, a period full of challenges and discoveries. Written and directed by Jonah Hill, the film marks his directorial debut with impressive sensitivity, taking the viewer on an adventure through the world of Stevie, a 13-year-old boy searching for his place in a turbulent society. One of the film's most notable aspects is its cinematography, which is enhanced by an authentic and nostalgic approach. The warm color palette and grainy visuals evoke the home-film style of the era, immersing the viewer in the vibrant and chaotic atmosphere of 1990s Los Angeles. The soft lighting and framing typical of a pre-digital era make the experience visually captivating, evoking a nostalgia that reminds an entire generation of their own adventures. The performances in the film deserve special mention, with Sunny Suljic delivering an impressive performance as Stevie. His portrayal is authentic, capturing the insecurity and curiosity inherent in adolescence. The chemistry between the cast is palpable, and characters like Ruben and Ray, played by Gio Galicia and Na-Kel Smith, respectively, bring a richness to the film that complements Stevie's journey. Each actor excels, bringing depth and nuance to their roles, making the film not just a story, but a true representation of a capricious teenage friendship. Lucas Hedges, as the older brother Ian, adds an emotional layer to the story, illustrating the complexity of family relationships during adolescence. Hedges' performance is both powerful and subtle, demonstrating the internal struggle many face when navigating responsibility and freedom. This contrast between brotherhood and growth is a central theme, and the film explores it with sensitivity and authenticity. The soundtrack is another absolute highlight of "Mid90s." Composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the music captures the essence of the era and complements the narrative brilliantly. The musical choices range from grunge classics to hip-hop hits, including tracks that make each scene even more memorable. The clever use of music creates a dreamy and melancholic atmosphere, perfectly aligning with the emotions Stevie faces throughout his journey. Jonah Hill also excels in telling a story that, centered on the experiences of a young skateboarder, universally resonates with anyone who has faced the ups and downs of adolescence. The narrative is an invitation to introspection, reminding the audience of moments many may have experienced, such as intense friendships, family conflicts, and the search for belonging. Furthermore, the film is notable for its ability to tackle serious issues with lightheartedness and humor. While it tackles themes such as the challenges of family life, bullying, and the pressure to conform, Hill doesn't fall into the trap of pessimism. Instead, he strikes a balance between comedy and drama, making the experience even more authentic and relatable. The portrayal of skateboarding and 90s youth culture is faithfully done, capturing the essence of freedom and rebellion that defined the era. The skateboarding scenes are dynamic and energetic, conveying the pure joy that comes from a passion for a sport and the camaraderie among friends. Skateboarding, more than an activity, becomes a form of expression and escape for Stevie and his friends, something many skaters from generation to generation can relate to. As the film progresses, Stevie's journey becomes not only about self-discovery, but also about understanding that everyone around him faces their own struggles. This panorama of growth and maturation is what makes "The 90s" such a powerful and reflective experience. Through moments of vulnerability and strength, the film reminds the viewer that everyone is on their own unique journey and that, despite the challenges, there is beauty and meaning in the pursuit of self-discovery. In short, "Mid90s" is more than a coming-of-age film; it's a celebration of adolescent experiences, uncertainty, and the search for identity. Jonah Hill crafts a deeply resonant narrative, enhanced by impressive performances, a magnificent soundtrack, and nostalgia-inducing cinematography. The film is not just a journey back to the 90s, but a reflection of the universality of adolescence, making "Mid90s" an essential addition to the coming-of-age canon.
- old_computer1 juillet 2026Not a fan of Jonah Hill from his personal actions but this movie is a nod to real skate culture and the commitment to being a skater. It's hard to capture the culture of street or flat ground skating. Most people just think of Tony Hawk or vert ramp skating which I've always disliked / found pretty boring. Must watch for anyone who grew up in the 90s and knows who Rodney Mullins is.
