If you are looking for a heartfelt movie that sticks in your brain even after watching, then Mid90s (2018) is the perfect movie for you.
Directed by Jonah Hill, Mid90s is a skating movie set in Los Angeles in the 1990s and is about a 13-year-old boy, Stevie, and his journey to find where he belongs. Stevie lives with his abusive older brother and his single mother, who is often very busy. With all his issues at home, Stevie is left feeling alone and lost, until he becomes friends with a group of skateboarders.
What makes Mid90s stand out from other movies is its realistic style. This film doesn’t feel fake and is able to keep the viewer engaged with realistic conversations and a plot that is not overly dramatic. Most of the skateboarders in the movie are not professional actors, and that helps make everything more believable and authentic. Sunny Suljic, who plays the main character, Stevie, presents a very realistic role and is able to express his character very well without using too many words.
I like this movie because it feels very real and easy to connect with. The characters all talk and act like real people, and the story shows what it’s like to grow up and try to find where you belong. Stevie’s journey allows you to understand what he’s going through, and while watching, I felt as if I was right there with him.
This movie does also have some very sad moments, so if you do plan to watch I would definitely be prepared for that. This movie dives very deeply into friendships and how they help people through tough times. If you enjoy movies that feel honest and show real emotions, you’ll probably connect with this one.
You may not like this movie if you prefer fast-paced stories or big action scenes. Mid90s moves slowly and focuses more on everyday life and feelings instead of exciting events. Some parts of the movie are also very emotional and show tough situations. This movie might be too intense or uncomfortable for some younger audiences.
Overall, Mid90s is a powerful and emotional movie that shows what it’s like to grow up and find your place. It’s not for everyone, but if you like honest stories and strong characters, it’s definitely worth watching.
