A formal bow to an era where adolescence still was defined by teenage parties, skateboards and music culture, and when the authentic, though today hardly watchable video format was the rule. A story with a shabby concept and predictable twists, but made with humour and with the heart of a boy that in that era wandered the streets with a video camera and dreamt about a future where he would no longer have to crouch under the weight of a depressive environment of poverty. Perfect casting, awesome soundtrack and Fuckshit – with deserved (not only) underground cult status.

I won't pretend that my childhood in a similar era looked anything like this, because it was much more balanced, peaceful, and appropriately introverted. Nevertheless, I really like how Jonah Hill captures the time. Not as a nice decade of formative childhood, but as a problematic, lost, and therefore somewhat nostalgic moment in cultural development, to some extent even a dead end. This opposite direction can only be appreciated because it has exactly that burning imperfection and incompleteness and thus captures why the 90s will continue to fascinate me even on my deathbed.

A wonderfully positive and easygoing film. I haven't seen one of these in a long time, and to my own surprise, I hope Jonah Hill makes something again soon. Mid90s is not a nostalgia for years gone by, but a fun return to a time that may not have been particularly fun, but the protagonists of this story were not aware of that. In addition to the excellent script (Jonah Hill again, hold me), I have to give credit to the great choice of music and the overall form, which really makes the film look like authentic 30-year-old footage.

Proof of the universality of growing up. Will work just as well at home alone as it does in a full theater. Except different. Consistently divorced from today's cinematic reality, see the language used or the reduction and purpose of the female characters. A perfect illusion, not just a trendy 90s nostalgia trip as the first minutes of the film littered with period artifacts suggest. In a Czech setting, the film will have the benefit of the wider sweep of Larry Clark and Harmony Korine's work that was here at the start of the millennium.
