I think it is safe to say that this film would not have got distributed in Dutch cinemas without it being written and directed by Jonah Hill.
That is not of course in itself a bad thing and it is how the world goes, yet how many other amazing movies did not get the distribution because they didn’t have Hollywood royalty attached?
I actually quite like Jonah Hill, I am a recent convert, I only know him for 6 months after seeing first ‘Dont Worry He Won’t Get Far On Foot’ and then ‘Maniac.’ Yes, ‘Superbad’ passed me by!
The thing is though, the 90s slacker movies made by people like Harmony Korine were great because they were about kids and written (at least partially) by kids too. ‘Mid90s’ is a movie about kids written by an adult and I think you hear that a bit in the dialogue.
It’s not bad, it’s just a bit pointless.
It’s about a little kiddy drifting into skating and getting fucked up. That’s actually about it.
The kiddy is played by Sunny Suljic who was in killing of a sacred deer and ‘Dont Worry He…’ Wait what!? I don’t remember that.
Ah and his mum in this was in the crappy Alien sequel. I knew i recognised her from somewhere!
It is cool that Harmony Korine gets a cameo but movies like ‘Kent Park’, ‘Dazed and Confused’ and ‘Kids’ already did what ‘Mid90s’ is trying to do.
However i am loving the Christian hate on imdb!!
