About

You’ll likely enjoy Mid90s if you want a tense, funny, emotionally messy look at fitting in through skate culture; Not for you if you need a clear plot, a fully satisfying ending, or you strongly dislike uncomfortable coming-of-age drama like I Am Not Okay with This or The Kings of Summer.

Pros: nostalgic 1990s vibe; relatable coming-of-age; strong group chemistry | Cons: unclear plot; unsettling discomfort; divisive ending
