Dope - Kritiken

Smith is fantastic here, using his voice in such a way that it channels menace while remaining preternaturally smooth and calm.

Dope has more characters and subplots than it knows what to do with, and its performances are all over the place...

...for most of its running time, Dope is an exhilarating shot of adrenaline.

Shameik Moore, Kiersey Clemons and Tony Revolori (last seen wearing a bellboy uniform in The Grand Budapest Hotel) make for divertingly offbeat company...

Jeg var godt underholdt hele vejen, dog uden at rulle rundt på gulvet af grin. Vittighederne har dog et højt intelligensniveau.

Ved at kombinere nørd-kulturen med Californiens ghetto formår Dope at tilføje noget nyt til ungdomsfilmen som genre.

...Rachel Morrison’s cinematography and Lee Haugen’s editing keep the film fluid and buoyant.

Smart utfört, skickligt spelat, ruskigt underhållande och fullt av citatvänlig dialog har Dope stora chanser att bli en riktig kultrulle.

...en nyskapande underdog-saga...

...[skater] ubekymret rundt mellem genrerne: highschool-komedie, krimi-thriller og drama med social bevidsthed.
