  • I saw Straight Outta Compton on Friday.

    Problematic in some ways, but more in terms of what it doesn't show than what it does. Also not a film for strong female characters.

    I really enjoyed it though, some good laughs, great music, and quite a bit of controversy. I went with a group of strong female characters who loved it too. I think if you accept what it is and what it's not before you go, and you have any interest in late 80s/early 90s hip hop it's a must.

  • Granted they've only got five second parts but Cube's and Eazy's girlfriends come across as the smartest cookies in the jar

  • I think that was a deliberate ploy to distract people from the complete lack of any other women who weren't semi-naked in Dr Dre's pool.

    And as someone I was with said, if they showed any of his early relationships for a long period of time, they'd either have to show him beating his girlfriend or make even more of a show of pretending it never happened.

    I liked the film, but I also like James Richardson's review:
