Review of Straight Outta Compton (2015) by Manohla Dargis for New York Times — 12 Aug 2015
The partying is as bland as any all-purpose music video and feels more like another script signpost (and audience-pandering) than a serious attempt to get out what it means to be young, black, gifted, fabulously wealthy and much desired.
Mr. Gray does far better when the story edges into heavier, more dappled realms.
