57.) Straight out of Compton [9/3/2015]

Having been a young teenager when NWA released their first album (and during the LA riots against which the film is set), a lot of this movie rang true to what I remember (though, being a white Midwestern suburbanite, it did fill in some pretty huge gaps in my own understanding, like how completely horrifying Sug Knight is and how bold a move Ice Cube made leaving NWA); that said, it did significantly gloss over some of the more unseemly bits that conflicted with the narrative, like how Dr Dre beat a lot of women and how Eazy-E was sort of a scuzzy dirtbag, which gave the group a bit more of a rosy shine than it deserves.
