18 oct. 2018 - Jonah Hill’s Mid90s Can Only Skate on the Surface
Description:
Vanity Fair online
It’s strange to think of someone paying a sawbuck and a half to see Jonah Hill’s new directorial debut, Mid90s, in a movie theater. Not because the movie is bad—though, to be up-front with you, I don’t love it. But the project is just so slight, in ways both purposeful and not. It’s practically over before it really gets started.
Mid90s is a quick trip through a high point in the Los Angeles adolescence of a pre-teen named Stevie—a mop-headed white kid played by the delightfully boyish Sunny Suljic—who falls in with a mixed crowd of older skater bros. He doesn’t exactly need a role model; dad is out of the picture, but he has an older brother, Ian (Lucas Hedges). Then again, Ian wears a chain, drinks orange juice straight out of the carton, and wears the flavor of oversized polo shirt native to hip-hop culture—he must’ve seen it in a music video. He’s a poser. No wonder Stevie has to outsource his idols.
