Reviews

Village Voice - Alan Scherstuhl
Part of what makes writer-director Rick Famuyiwa's Dope so fresh and joyous is that in many key ways it's not new at all.
83
Hitfix - Unnamed
The unexpected comedy bits, great music and an insightful point of view all contribute to making "Dope" something special, but it simply wouldn't fly without Moore.
83
The Playlist - Rodrigo Perez
The good certainly outweighs the uneven. Dope is both intelligent and crowd-pleasing.
80
New York Magazine (Vulture) - Bilge Ebiri
Dope isn’t perfect — it’s got a couple too many endings, and it loses the romantic subplot for a distressingly long time. But it moves with amazing energy, the dialogue and soundtrack and imagery a constant stream of pop-culture references, in-jokes, and digressions.
80
Variety - Dennis Harvey
The fun momentum of Dope’s breakneck plotting and snappy dialogue easily overcome any momentary attack of earnestness.
