In honor of Didi's upcoming release, we chart over 70 years of history, told through coming-of-age movies.

Ah, the past! As celluloid is first and foremost a method of recording things around us, it’s no surprise that archiving and recreating history, both communal and personal, is so central to the cinematic medium. But the one thing we know about the times is that they are a’changing, meaning films that look backwards often capture the contemporary, forward-pushing social momentum that has swept us all up, for good or ill, throughout history.

The criteria: it doesn’t matter if it’s a retro pastiche or moving autofiction, so long as the coming-of-age story necessitated looking back into the past to reflect on change, it qualified. Films also had to be set in a specific year, so exemplary titles likethat play it coy about when they take place in the ’70s or ’90s were disqualified.

Not the first nor last time summer camps appear on this list, Annie Baker’s portrait of heartrending codependency begins with our young protagonist insisting she’ll kill herself if her mom doesn’t take her home.

The title does indeed check out—1996 is in the mid-90s. Before he become really weird about his therapist to the point of muddying their professional relationship with a biographical documentary, Jonah Hill debuted as a filmmaker with this slice-of-life skateboarding drama, where Katherine Waterson is completely exasperated for the best part of 80 minutes about her teenage son hanging out with a friendly group of older skaters.
