As one of the few skate movies I for sure get why it’s a cult classic, I mean good skate movies are fucking impossible to find, but the language, while accurate for the mid 90s, was a bit much. The skate vibes where for sure there but the slurs every 3 words killed the vibe.

mid90s – THE PICTURE OF FORBIDDEN ADOLESCENCE
The conceptual film, a period piece “mid90s” is a touching story of suburbs, shot on 16mm to present a VHS viewing experience and capture the atmosphere of the last decade of the 20th century. In the era of blockbuster nights, Ghetto Boys and the development of subcultures a thirteen-year-old boy leaves his naive kid days to become one of the skater boys seen on the streets of Los Angeles. The theme of childhood in cinema and the struggles of growing up are portrayed in the film by showing the dystopia of young age and the natural need to fit in and to belong.
