Mid90s is a movie that’s going to get by on word-of-mouth. It doesn’t have any major stars (the biggest “names” in it are Lucas Hedges and Katherine Waterston, who are both in supporting roles), but it’s a really good movie. Jonah Hill’s directorial debut follows a young kid in the mid-90s who becomes friends with a group of skaters. It’s a character-driven movie that always feels like it’s putting honest interactions before nostalgia, and I really appreciated what Hill was doing with the film.
