90's

Through Mid90s, Jonah Hill actually teaches as he realistically depicts skatepark teenagers. There's obviously a lot of raunchy jokes and coarse touches of humour, but the drama genre also strikes deep when it comes and deals with mature subject matter such as abuse and teenage alcohol use.

In a way, it kind of feels like old classics like The Shining or descending-into-madness stories, except for 13-year-old Stevie, it's the descent into teenage life. He starts of as a naive child who doesn't know what black people are, to then ending up swearing to his mother, smoking and even confronting and fighting back at his abusive brother. As solidly stated in the movie, the teenage friends wouldn't change their rough home lives for each others, considering they're all dealing with the struggles of home life. Their own personal struggles are what make good sense with their behaviour around other teens.

The guys who enrol the teenage friends group definitely feel like low-budget cast members, but their performances are perfect and demonstrate stereotypical teenagers. However, Sunny Suljic and Lucas Hedges are easily the most memorable out of the whole cast. It's also very effective in the context that it's filmed with an old-fashioned ratio.
