Mikey Alfred is no stranger to rejection.
When pitching the script for his feature directorial debut, “North Hollywood,” to distributors, the 26-year-old L.A. native was met with the same response from all of them: “No.”
“I didn’t even get like, ‘Yeah, we’ll hit you back,'” Alfred tells Variety. “It was just like, ‘no,’ everywhere.”
It’s not like Alfred is a complete outsider to Hollywood — he was a producer on Jonah Hill’s critically-acclaimed film “Mid90s,” appeared as himself in the HBO series “Ballers” and directed a documentary short about rapper Tyler, the Creator. But Alfred was told that the semi-autobiographical “North Hollywood” — about a teenage boy’s choice between following his dream of becoming a pro skater or going to college — wouldn’t relate to a wide enough audience.
“I categorically disagree with that,” Alfred says. “I feel that it caters to a really niche...

Punk rockers Violent Femmes and forever-popular jam band the Grateful Dead are among the surprising group of musicians getting into the sneaker arena this season, launching exclusive collaborations with some of the biggest brands in footwear.
While hip-hop artists and pop stars like Kanye West and Selena Gomez have had successful shoe collections for years (with adidas and Puma, respectively), this is the first foray into the footwear world for Violent Femmes and The Grateful Dead, two names not usually synonymous with fast fashion.

In 1990s Los Angeles, 13-year-old Stevie escapes his turbulent home life by hanging out with a new group of friends he meets at a local skate shop, plunging him into a world of fun, danger and excitement.
Jonah Hill’s directorial debut Mid90s is an artistic and entertaining romp. Perfectly stylised and thematically engaging as the personification of the decade in which it is set, with magnetic aptitude. The issues lie within the content provided which is the epitome of shallow and hollow, aside from the energy provided in a majestic score and absurdly beautiful framing in the cinematography from Christopher Blauvelt.

Chicago – Character actor Jonah Hill has just scored behind the camera. As writer/director of a authentic look back at the “Mid90s” he went back to his inner source of growing up in that 1990s time, skateboarding with his buds and experiencing the teenage life. The story never blinks, as the teens are authentic and the situations they get in even more so.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
In a recent interview, Jonah Hill said that this film became his “best friend.” And in that sense we experience his joy in each frame. Hill cast it right, he approached it right and even in the harshest moments in the film were honestly right. The lead boy, portrayed by Sunny Suljic (“The House with the Clock in Its Walls”), amazingly takes on the innocence of desire in wanting to belong, and then growing up through that opportunity. The young actors portraying the skateboard buddies are also naturalistic,...

If you walked blindly into any part of Mid90s – that is without knowing anything about it, and especially not its title – it would take no more than two minutes for you to realize where and when you are. From the opening scene in a room lined with Air Jordans and CD racks, to the background beats of 2Pac and N.W.A, there’s no point in Jonah Hill’s directorial debut that feels out of touch with the times it honors. On paper, those times weren’t too long ago, but as Hill’s almost obsessive attention to detail turn certain kinds of shoes and socks, music, and video games into artifacts, Mid90s becomes less of a visitation, and more of a transportation into this awkward era.
And awkward it is. Or at least awkward it has become. Cringe-worthy slang, grooming, and clothing styles encompass the world 13-year-old...

Whether you grew up in the city or the country, you probably hung out with a group of similarly aged kids. You usually played games, explored, and occasionally got into a bit of mischief. The movies exploited that sensing of bonding and belonging nearly a hundred years ago when slapstick king Hal Roach created and produced the long-running series of short comedies called “Our Gang” (when they were sold to TV in the 50’s they were packaged under a new title “The Little Rascals: since teen gangs were the stuff of parental nightmares). In the late 1930’s, the “Dead End Kids were “B” movie staples right into the 50’s when they morphed into “The Bowery Boys”. More recently filmmakers have used the multi-kid format usually in a nostalgic setting. The 50’s were the backdrop for The Lords Of Flatbush and The Wanderers, the next decade had American Graffiti and The Sandlot.

Jonah Hill’s directorial debut is an homage so faithful to its titular era, you’d be hard-pressed to pinpoint the year in which it was actually made. The giveaway, though, is in the intense sense of nostalgia that suffuses every frame of “Mid90s.”
Hill, currently starring in Netflix’s “Maniac,” was 13 in 1996, the same age as his protagonist, Stevie, who’s struggling to make sense of his unhappy life. His older brother, Ian, has a lot of rage issues, most of which he takes out on Stevie in violent fashion. And his young single mom, Dabney, is just trying to hold things together.
Facing down a summer with nothing to do and no one to do it with, Stevie finds a new family among the teens who hang out at a nearby L.A. skate shop. Ray (Na-kel Smith) works there, but he seems to be the only...

Jonah Hill doesn’t appear in a single scene of Mid90s, but you can feel his presence in every scene of this comedy spiked with touching gravity. Making his directing debut with a script he wrote himself, Hill shapes this coming-of-age tale like a European art film (think Francois Truffaut’s 400 Blows), letting atmosphere, character and glimmers of feeling take precedence over narrative thrust. The technique may put off fans expecting a raucous take on Superbad or 21 Jump Street and its sequel, both of which Hill cowrote. But...

Between his starring role in Netflix’s “Maniac” and his feature directorial debut “Mid90s,” Jonah Hill is having a career-changing fall. A24 has premiered the latest official trailer for Hill’s coming-of-age movie following strong reviews from the movie’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month.
“Mid90s” stars relative newcomer Sunny Suljic (“The Killing of a Sacred Deer”) as a thirteen-year-old in 90s-era Los Angeles who spends his summer navigating between his troubled home life and a group of new friends that he meets at a Motor Avenue skate shop. The supporting cast includes Lucas Hedges, Na-kel Smith, Katherine Waterston, and Olan Prenatt.
IndieWire’s Eric Kohn reacted strongly to the film’s “sweet burst of nostalgia” in his review out of Tiff. “Equal parts ‘Freaks and Geeks,’ ‘Kids,’ and the adolescent-focused narratives of British director Shane Meadows, Hill cribs from these precedents...

The summer between middle school and high school is a formative one for any kid. There’s this sense of moving away from childhood and towards young adulthood — of needing to act older to fit in considering the pecking order has restarted with you down at the bottom. Factor in a sibling who’s already gone through this transition (living to remind you of this fact with his penchant for brutal abuse you’re too naïve to realize is his own insecurity seeking an easy target to work out aggression) and your desire to evolve becomes that much more potent. Now is the time to be cool. Throw away those Tmnt bed sheets and reinvent yourself as a skateboarder despite knowing nothing about how to begin riding. Image proves everything.

“Mid90s” is the kind of movie so familiar it’s practically over before it begins. The affable story of scrawny L.A. 13-year-old Stevie (Sunny Suljit) coming of age in the eponymous era follows all the familiar beats of this well-trod genre. However, the first feature from writer-director Jonah Hill shows some of the best qualities of veteran actors who step behind the camera, with nuanced performances so real the characters practically fall off the screen. Hill’s story suggests equal parts “Freaks and Geeks,” “Kids,” and the adolescent-focused narratives of British director Shane Meadows, but Hill cribs from these precedents with a confidence that injects this lively snapshot of skateboarding reprobates with fresh confidence.
It’s also a gleeful nostalgia trip. With a period-specific soundtrack that ranges from the Pixies to Wu-Tang Clan, “Mid90s” depicts the last decade of the 20th century with a warm hug. It...

In “mid90s,” Stevie (Sunny Suljic), a 13-year-old Los Angeles kid with hair bigger than his head and a cute shy gaze of sloe-eyed innocence, escapes his bleak abusive home by hooking up with four slovenly, zoned-out skate punks who take him under their tattered wings. If this were a Hollywood movie, or even a certain kind of indie movie (the most typical kind), Stevie, bolstered by his new friends, would learn a lot about how to skate. He would also come of age by undergoing rites of damaged mischief and absorbing a handful of “streetwise” life lessons.
But that’s not the movie that Jonah Hill, the writer and director of “mid90s” (it’s the actor’s first time behind the camera), has made. Stevie needs friends — he needs somebody — badly. The film opens with a head-on shot of his domestic hell: In the dank cramped chartreuse hall of his home,...

A 13-year-old finds salvation in skateboarding in the trailer for Jonah Hill’s directorial debut, Mid90s. The film is set to open October 19th.
Hill wrote and directed Mid90s. The movie centers around Stevie, a teenager growing up in Los Angeles during the Nineties, who befriends a group of skateboarders one summer to escape a difficult home life. The clip features plenty of exuberant skate rat nonsense as Stevie and his friends outrun the cops, cruise down busy boulevards and leap over roof gaps.
