Stevie is dealing with the pain caused by his mother and her revolving door of dates, leading him to bond with these boys as they take him under their wing. The boys are all skaters who have dropped out of school and struggle with drug and alcohol use, abusive families and more.

This skate shop is the hangout of four older boys (Olan Prenatt, Na-Kel Smith, Ryder McLaughlin and Gio Galicia) who happen to be best friends. “Mid90s” begins with a young boy named Stevie (Sunny Suljic) ending a fistfight with his aggressive older brother (Lucas Hedges), then leaving his house to roam the streets of Los Angeles only to stumble upon a skate shop. The company originally produced artisanal films that Hollywood usually disregards but eventually made its breakthrough by winning best picture in 2016 for its film “Moonlight.” After much buzz from the Sundance Film Festival and offbeat horror films such as “Hereditary,” A24 decided to partner with writer and director Jonah Hill to create the skateboarder’s dream that is “Mid90s.” In 2019, it managed to earn 25 Oscar nominations while producing over two dozen films that year.

This film was produced by A24 and is written and directed by Jonah Hill.Ī24, the production company that Daniel Katz, David Fenkel and John Hodges founded in New York in 2012, went from nameless to household in the cinema industry. The “Mid90s” movie poster features Stevie, a young boy who takes up skateboarding to escape his troubled home life.
