JayFeb 3, 2019I researched John Singleton's films prior to this one because I just had to know what other amazing things he directed/wrote that led him into making this wonderful film. As it turns out, this was Singleton's directorial debut and not only that, but directing this led him…

A 23 year old made this?!!!!??????!!!!
kaylaApr 30, 2019Structurally so audacious - no plot to speak of, rather a collection of scenes centered around communication which nevertheless do link up in a remarkable set of backs and forths. That way, it both paints a portrait of a world, while also being able to sit outside of it…

Stand By Me in the hood.
daddydeathboneJul 7, 2020This movie just further prove to me how lucky I am. How lucky I was to be the daughter of the only person in my family who had the opportunity to go to college, how lucky I am to actually be in college, to had never had to beg, steal or kill to get something I needed. But…
✨PinkMcflurry (Danya)✨May 9, 2021"You can cry in front of me." Much like Do the Right Thing, its social importance and its devastating final act tend to overshadow how personal, funny, and entertaining the journey there is. Untouchable screenplay, legendary debut, Furious cinema.

one of those movies you just love so much yet only a short amount of reasons why.
Cinematic Joshua lovedBoyz n the HoodAn excellent coming-of-age drama that’s also 1 of the best in Black Cinema.
Jens Bak lovedBoyz n the HoodBoyz 'N the hood is a thoroughly fascinating and deeper look at life in Los Angeles around the early 1980s to early 1990s. The film has a certain aged charm about it; and with actors you'd easily recognise today looking very different in 1991, this adds to the feeling.

Sad ending but still holds up. 7/10

nevan lovedBoyz n the Hoodthis legitimately floored me, which i was not expecting in the slightest. the narrative rings true to this day for many families and succeeds thanks to fantastic performances and writing. feels vastly mature for its young director and crew; a modern classic for a reason

This movie was decent is it crazy to say i was expecting more just cause how much hype there is around this movie? i had higher expectations don’t get me wrong great story and character development but the ending wasn’t the greatest but still overall decent movie
Hellen lovedBoyz n the HoodI love movies that the first half are the characters when they are younger and the second half is them older! This is a very important message and very necessary, especially in the 90s but also now, they still aren’t making as much movies about this experience.
Aidan White likedBoyz n the Hood8.4/10 really rich in culture and music that i really enjoyed set in the backdrop of a predominantly black neighborhood in LA in the 80s - tragic story about a group of friends and a father trying to save his son from a life of crime

The rage that fuels Singleton's film is harnessed to great effect, he shows the reality, and while it builds to a melodramatic conclusion, it depicts life at its most raw.

If people here feel trapped, despairing of a way out, it is Singleton's gift to make us empathize with their hopelessness, and make us wonder, along with them, how long this must go on.
