Hey! New member here.
I watched Mid90s the other day and I'm wondering why the Blu-ray transfer looks so underexposed? Is it a result of filming on 16mm film?

Never seen the film but the fact it was shot on 16mm wouldn't make it dark. A film shot 16mm stock should have the same range but not resolution of 35mm.
So if its too dark its either a bad transfer or intentional and stylistic (using natural lights, underexposed on purpose, certain film processing, etc).
spaceboy710, you make a good point with Kids. I guess the underexposed look is supposed to enforce the gritty aesthetic in Mid90s.
Thank you.
