Dope


2015, US, directed by Rick Famuyiwa

A fairly decent teen-movie entry elevated by two things: a surprisingly sure blend of tones between comedy/crime/social comment and an excellent cast, particularly the three young actors at the centre of the film. The ending went, to my mind, far off the rails -- far too wish-fulfilment-esque, and yet another endorsement of the Ivy League establishment, however inadvertent.
