It’s not so much about the metaphorical importance of skating as a poetic symbol for becoming a man, or about the psychological dregs of growing up with a single mother and a bluntly abusive older brother what matters the most is the intense fun with which Stevie finds his feet. There’s something about the candour of these kids that lets a little bit of magic seep through the wheels they ride on. Stevie screams and he cries, but he also doesn’t stop laughing against pain, or in fear running away in a concrete-jungle race from the cops, lifting his head from the board he uses as a pillow, wailing at his mother (a brilliantly lonely and understated Katherine Waterston) until his voice exhausts. In his directorial debut, actor Jonah Hill drops the angst in favour of rough edges and spiky energy. Whether you're interested in matters of ecology or not, this documentary is an educational experience that everyone ought to have.Movies about coming of age have been on trend for a while, but Mid90s carries a breeze that feels fresher.

It's a thought-provoking documentary that offers just as much hope as it does criticism. But Attenborough also suggests that this future could be avoided and details the steps that we need to take to reverse the damage we've done to the natural world. Without going into too much detail, it involves the disappearance of entire ecosystems and drastic changes to the climate, all culminating in a mass extinction event. He also presents what he believes could be the end result if humanity continues to abuse nature the way we do now. Mixed with footage from his previous work, Attenborough describes the documentary as his 'witness statement.' And in David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet, he gives an account of his long career, reflecting on how much the planet has changed over the 90-odd years of his life. He's so respected both among the general public and the scientific community that there have been over 20 species named after him. The English natural historian and author is practically a household name due to his extensive work on natural history documentaries, delivered in his iconic narration style. Run Time: 1 hr 23 min | Directed by: Keith Scholey, Jonathan Hughes, Alastair Fothergillĭavid Attenborough is easily one of the most recognizable figures in the world of conservation.
