"Relatable" is a word that I see bandied about as praise of various mediums. Well let me tell you, Mid90s was relatable, and it made me very uncomfortable. I like Slice of Life stuff, and I love Coming of Age movies, but I guess Mid90s was not what I needed today. That said, it set out to do a particular thing and it totally did it. And well, you gotta respect that.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
