Plots(1)
Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is a brilliant geek who is obsessed with 90s hip-hop. He and his two best friends play in a punk band together and get hassled at high school for their throwback style. When illegal substances are hidden in his backpack at an underground dance club, his life gets extremely complicated. Malcolm will go to crazy lengths to achieve his dreams: getting into Harvard University, getting closer to his fantasy girl Nakia (Zoë Kravitz) and cashing in his fortune in bitcoins. Produced by Forest Whitaker and featuring a funky retro soundtrack curated by Executive Producer Pharrell Williams, Dope is a fresh, funny and vibrant film that wowed audiences at the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals.

This is a film that is a very pleasant surprise in several ways. First and foremost, it's the young actors who show that they are incredibly capable and that they carry the whole film just fine on their own. The second aspect is the characters that appear here, and subsequently, the screenplay, which has something of Pulp Fiction in it, but it's different, modern, and aimed at the youth.

A very intelligent, entertaining and refreshingly new take on coming-of-age film. I never dreamed that a film about Hip Hop, black people and drugs would grow on me. Dope may not crackle with humor, but it garners marks for its other attributes. Likeable geek main characters, catchy soundtrack, brisk pace, working tension, decent twists, beautiful colorful visuals and a great twist with a message at the end. Very good though authentically gritty. I have not cheered for anyone so much in a long time! PS: an incredible supply of slang! 80%!
