When I searched for one of the cast members, Gio Galicia, this photo came up, with the caption "Screenshot of Bohemian Rhapsody." It's obviously from Mid90s, not Bohemian Rhapsody, nor is Gio Galicia in the shot.
Goes to show how f*ked up this movie is.
Oh, sorry, we're being real. The movie is fucked up. It's a piece of shit. It is especially offensive to gay viewers, even though producer Scott Rudin is gay.
It's a Kids reboot about a little boy named Stevie, 13 years old but played by 12-year old Sunny Suljic. Apparently Jonah Hill cast him deliberately to get someone who looked "young." He's living with his neglectful mother and abusive older brother (Lucas Hedges, top photo) in Los Angeles in the mid-90s.
I lived in Los Angeles in the mid-90s. It was great.
Stevie tries to alleviate his pain by hanging out with some older kids at a skate park.
Stevie learns to smoke marijuana, fight, get drunk, and use racist and homophobic language (every other word is "fag"),
I agree that it's "real" There are real racist, homophobic assholes in the world. Why make a movie about them?
Of course Stevie has sex (with a girl played by a 23-year old actress).
That's a Class 1 Felony. Even pretending to have sex with a 13-year old is inappropriate.
But Stevie's newfound drug abuse and prepubescent sexual activity does not bring happiness. He gets two head injuries, one in a skateboarding accident and the other in a car accident, and attempts suicide.
One would expect at least some buddy-bonding among the skateboarders. But they mostly argue, posture, and fight. .
\No beefcake. We see Stevie's prepubescent body, of course, and Ian (his older brother) briefly in his underwear as he's beating up Stevie.
Here's the only shirtless photo of a cast member I could find, Olan Prenatt, who plays Fuckshit.
My rating:Is there anything lower than F-?
How about fuckshit?
