kid 90

POSITIVES…

  • For a lot of people, the primary reason to see this documentary is for all those archival footage that Soleil Moon Frye took, and they do not disappoint. Especially if you were a kid in the 1980s and 1990s. 

  • It’s like a cross between just watching home videos, to seeing a narrative about a young person experiencing growing up. 

  • We’ve seen a lot of tales about kid celebrities' lives, but this still has a perspective that is worth exploring. 

  • Appreciated how personal and open Soleil Moon Frye was in this.

  • Commentaries by Brian Austin, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, David Arquette, and so many others were great additions to this. 

  • The whole “punky boobster” thing. A lot of girls can probably relate with that. 

  • This documentary does get really serious and tragic at certain sections. Important subject matters to think about.  

  • Is Soleil Moon Frye the original youtube video blogger before youtube was even born?

NEGATIVES…

  • Obviously the old video footage isn’t of the highest quality. Get over it. 

  • Could have used more timestamps to when these footages were taking place. 

  • Some could just dismiss this as yet another privileged child star story. 

  • Seeing young celebrities being wild with drugs and alcohol is just so typical and doesn’t really add anything new to the narrative. 

  • Would have liked to have seen this film go even more in depth of certain topics featured in it. 

  • Wished it was longer actually.
