Review of mid90s (2018) by Compi24 — 30 Oct 2018

As far as A24-produced, semi-autobiographical, period-based, coming-of-age directorial debuts are concerned, "Mid90s" is certainly no "Lady Bird," but you get about as much of Jonah Hill poured into this movie as you did Greta Gerwig in the 2017 Best Picture nominee.

And it's ultimately Hill's familiarity and love for the subject matter at hand that ends up translating into the most worthwhile bits in this film. The characters, dialogue, and set-dressing are all evocative of a bygone era.

And the performances are as brilliantly textured and as nuanced as you'd expect a movie directed by an actor to be. Overall, I had a great time with "Mid90s," and I'd say it's an absolute must for indie film fans.
