Review of Dope (2015) by Robert J — 14 Nov 2015
The interesting take here is of an outcasts among outcasts among outcasts, to wit, an urban black youth who actually wants to go to college (heavens to murgatroid!), who is in fact a nerd, who likes punk music, and who tenderly navigates the usually strains of the coming-of-age opera.
The set-up was alright, but then the mandatory glorification of the drug culture part came up and nearly lost me. All of the this-is-supposed-to-be-cool scenes, well, I must've grown past that because I didn't find it too cool at all (like making out with a naked woman out-of-her-mind on MDA).
As I've been told once or twice by the fresh generation: whatever.
