My favorite scene in this very entertaining musical biopic is when Ice Cube is sitting at a laptop writing the screenplay for 'Friday' and says 'damn that's funny' to himself.

HELL YEAH!!! This movie is absolute peak.
BenjigotfriedAug 13, 201553/100 Las Vegas Weekly review. Has all the standard musical-biopic problems, but I confess that I enjoyed the cheesiness Gray brings to it. When Ice Cube hears himself being dissed, the camera pushes into his face as he starts ever-so-slightly nodding to an imaginary…
Mike D'AngeloDec 30, 2015loads & loads of raw energy thanks to f. gary gray & his remarkable cast... too bad the film feels more invested in contracts than it does the musical process & synthesis, and how it reflects/affects the world around us -- the few stellar moments are severely overpowered by…

- Sushi lovedStraight Outta Compton
It’s been a long time since I’ve watched this but it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen about an artist/artists, made me cry and understand how times were when I was young it was the first movie to open my eyes to these issues while being such a great film at the same time
ni dislikedStraight Outta Comptoni like it, just separating my things.
Justin lovedStraight Outta ComptonSuch a great story and there were a lot of really great moments in the movie. It dragged at a few moments but overall I felt that this movie was extremely well paced despite how long the extended version is.

A great part of music history! Shows their struggles with racism in that era of the US. Just making me root for all of them all the way. 7.5/10
lainey likedStraight Outta Comptoni actually really love this as a movie but as it is based on real events and people i have some grievances. let’s just say i found it interesting that the commitment to historical accuracy extends only to rampant and exploitative misogyny and the ability to use homophobic slurs but the fact that…
Olivia lovedStraight Outta ComptonSome things are just for the culture. This is one of them. Icl there music and influence was not in my time at all but still feels relevant in 2024. Impactful mehn. I love this group it just makes u belive u can be something n it’s dependent on u. Incredible biopic defo special
- Tristan lovedStraight Outta Compton
Can’t believe I had never seen until now, this movie was awesome. Coming from someone who already enjoys west coast music like Cube, Dr. Dre, Snoop, etc, it was super cool to see their background story and how they kinda all grew up together. This made me like their music more
Julie Dolinsky lovedStraight Outta ComptonBeyond excellent. I love the original band members involvement in the production. It kept things authentic and accurate. Ice Cube’s son O’Shea is his father’s doppelgänger. It’s excellent and you’ll walk away with a new perspective on their story. Definitely give it a watch! 🎤
Juan Carlos Blanco Delgado lovedStraight Outta ComptonMusic has always been a powerful means of expression, and Straight Outta Compton captures this brilliantly. The film portrays N.W.A.'s rise, their impact on music and society, and how their raw lyrics voiced a generation's frustrations, sparking crucial conversations.

Potent and visceral in its depiction of street life and blinged-up excess alike, Straight Outta Compton delivers big beats of both kinds.

The performances are terrific, and when it’s on its game, which is often, Straight Outta Compton is an explosive look at the creation of a message that had to be delivered by the only people who could deliver it, a message that is, unfortunately, as timely now as when we first heard it.
