Review of Straight Outta Compton (2015) by Josh S — 20 Feb 2016
"Straight Outta Compton is so beholden to the appeasement of so many artists and legacies and estates that none of it coheres as a movie." This basically says it all. Very well acted/directed/etc and it was fascinating to get a peek, however biased, into their world and history.
Unfortunately it feels overlong, propagandistic, and it's more like a montage of events than a story. Still it's definitely worth a watch.
