Saw it the other day. Just wonderful. I think this will be wildly relatable to many people on this site

 

Is it as similar to Mid90s as the trailer makes it appear?

 

Skateboarding is one piece of the puzzle and there is a section that reminds me of mid90s but this is it's own thing. It's also SIGNIFICANTLY better than mid90s. Very funny and touching in ways I don't remember that movie being

 

It's way, way better than mid90s

 

How this is not the most talked about movie on this website of all places right now is beyond me

I loved this so fucking much. I did not love the sinking feeling I got having to explain SmarterChild to two adult zoomers on the way out though lmao

meatspin went over their heads too and thank god they forgot

 

not enough people know about this. i saw it the other day and had a great time even though the theater had some crazy audio issues and had to pause the film. would honestly argue it's closer to the edge of seventeen than mid90s, if anything

 

I was actually pleased to find how little this had to do with skating and skater culture. Not that there would have been anything wrong with that, but it exists kind of adjacent to the story here in the same way I feel it probably did for most pre teens in the mid 00s

 

Gonna try to double feature this and Cuckoo tonight

 

Will see this when it is playing anywhere near me

 

This was really good. Great performances all around and I'll definitely be on the lookout for whatever Sean Wang does next.

 

This is probably my favorite of the year so far or close to it. Related to it so much that it almost felt like a memory at times.

 

I was so impressed at the lack of slurs then they used one but still impressive

 

I guess I'm just super white but were people asking each other out for boba in the AIM days?

 

I think so. I remember Boba in the late 2000's, but only because I had Filipino and Vietnamese friends and they were into it.

 

they were in a super Asian area of the Bay Area

 

Loved this.

Might be my favorite movie of the year so far.

 

Thought this was fantastic, aside from the absolutely critical timeline mistake of there being a self-titled era Paramore poster in Vivian’s room.

 

Yeah I guess I placed this taking place a lot earlier than it actually did.

 

This was awesome. Truly captures the late 2000s and the end of the Myspace/AIM are in a way no other movie has.

Could really relate to Chris trolling his crush’s Facebook for a jumping off point and faking seeing a movie to impress her. Was a very satisfying punch to that kid too.

 

Saw this a couple weekends ago, and it's one of my favorite movies of the year. All around great stuff.

 

This was perfect and wonderful and I love being at an age where movies are finally being made about my childhood lol

 

This was so great

 

I dug this a lot. I agree it's not too much like Mid-90's. If I was going to compare it anything maybe Eighth Grade, and some parts Ladybird.

The Hellogoodbye autoplaying on a MySpace page part took me back like a goddamn time machine. I'm pretty sure that was the MySpace song for at least a half dozen people I knew back then.
