Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview, Jonah Hill admitted that he was afraid audiences would accuse him of being homophobic because of the repeated use of words like f****t throughout the film and considered shooting a scene where the kids debate over whether they should be using that kind of language. He showed the scene to producer Scott Rudin, himself a gay man, who asked "Would you guys have had this conversation back then?" When Jonah said no, Rudin said that the scene would be "more offensive to put that in the movie than to show it how it actually was."
- GoofsThe Sony Handycam used by Fourth Grade (Ryder McLaughlin) is a CCD-TRV16 camcorder. This model was released in 1998 and if this film precisely took place either in '93, '94, '95 or '96 (hence the Mid90s title); this would mean this camcorder model is anachronistic being manufactured as early as 1998.
- Crazy creditsThe A24 logo at the start of the film is made of skateboards.

Featured review
Very well-made indie cinema deifying the 90s.
Mid90s is Jonah Hill's love-letter and confronting examination of a decade we now look back upon with incomparable admiration and respect. It's got everything: skateboards, VCRs, Super Nintendo, Sony PlayStation, Ren and Stimpy t-shirts and gangsta-culture. It's a time-capsule movie that truly doesn't feel like it was made in 2018 at all: its setting and characters are that convincing in making us Belgrave we're back in the 90s. Sure it's not all sunshine-and-bunnies in the story: the main character suffers physical abuse from his older brother and his mother isn't the most accepting person on the planet, but the movie's exploration of camaraderie, sex and drugs and rock and roll, VidCam filmmaking, skateboards and no longer feeling like an outsider makes Mid90s quite the visual and story-based treat.
This film is a short and ridiculously sweet nostalgia trip for anyone wanting something simple, relatable and honest.
