Diane says: “The reason I went to see MID 90S, Jonah Hill’s directorial debut, was so I could admire Sunny Suljic’s hair again. (Sunny was the sweet little boy in KILLING OF A SACRED DEER.) Here Sunny plays Stevie, a 13-year-old with a bad home life in LA, who insinuates himself into a motley group of skateboarders in a search for friendship and identity.What a smile that kid has when things are going well!
“Lucas Hedges (MANCHESTER BY THE SEA,THREE BILLBOARDS) plays Stevie’s older brother, incapable of being on the giving or receiving end of brotherly love. I saw Hedges in a trailer for BEN IS BACK the same night and am tired of this fine actor’s typecasting.
“MID 90S takes us on a pretty good ride, but Suljic is so tiny that I can’t see him as the 13-year-old he plays and actually is. That made his various life initiations very uncomfortable for me. The movie has a good soundtrack and made me want to watch some skateboarding videos. 3 cats“
