	Author	Review
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"More than entertainment for viewers, 'kid 90' proves a cathartic reckoning for Frye and anyone watching who has gone through the same trials and tribulations on any scale."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"In many ways, Frye’s collage only makes sense to its maker, where someone else might have brought enough distance to put all this material in perspective."	NEU
United States	Jennifer Green Common Sense Media	"Fans of '90s-era celebrities as well as the classic family show 'Punky Brewster' will find this behind-the-scenes walk down memory lane intriguing. But they may be surprised by the downbeat and sincere tone (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"An invitation for nostalgia and reconsideration that ultimately delivers on neither (...) An autobiographical project that insists on missing the forest for the trees"	NEG
United States	Adesola Thomas Paste Magazine	"The closeness emphasizes and, sometimes, undermines 'Kid 90'’s goal. But the film is still a worthwhile effort that’s premise and delivery demonstrate the difficulty of bridging the gap between spectator and celebrity."	POS
United States	Devika Girish The New York Times	"If the unremarkableness of the moments captured in Moon Frye’s footage is refreshing, it also makes for a somewhat insipid film."	NEU
United States	John Serba Decider	"[It] is occasionally indulgent and navel-gazey, but it comes from a place of empathy and healing. Moon Frye likely found the process of making it cathartic, and no doubt hopes watching it does the same for her audience too."	POS
