mid90s on the surface is a skateboard coming of age film set in the 1990s, but if one goes deeper it's far more about building an extended family from your friends when your traditional family structure is lacking. Stevie (Sunny Suljic) is a 13-year-old kid who has a broken relationship with his brother and mother and is at an age that he needs some sort of family around him to guide him during his teenage years. To that end, Stevie befriends a group of skateboarders in Ruben, Ray, Fuckshit, and Fourth Grade. They step in as his replacement family and introduce him to a life that is full of little rules, adult-like experiences, and brotherhood that he's never known.
