Straight Outta Compton Ratings & Reviews
Bitch Media
Nijla Mu'min
Through the evocative lens of cinematographer Matthew Libatique, Gray illustrates the vibrancy and pain of this moment and, for the most part, does not leave out the contradictions.
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
The film is remarkable because of how deeply it will resonate with today's audience.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
This is a monster film. You will walk out feeling like you have been entertained, educated and emotionally fulfilled. Eight months into the year 2015, and this is the only perfect film that has hit the theaters. This is it.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
The backdrop of Rodney King-era L.A and the realness and rawness of N.W.A.'s music, not to mention the passionate and heartfelt performances of the film's three young leads gives the film an undeniable power.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
In spite of its many formal and structural flaws, 'Straight Outta Compton' works, because it captures a moment, and positions its music at the center of that moment.

Leonard Maltin
A group of talented young actors in a bio-pic that packs a punch in all the right places... eye-opening and compelling...
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The core of the story is business, the object is power, and the quirks of desire and twists of the unconscious are given no place in the struggle-which the movie sharply carries ahead to the present day.

It's very easy to imagine sing-along showings cropping up for years to come.
Chicago Reader
Tyler Daswick
This movie about a group of risk-takers should have taken more risks itself.
Movie Mezzanine
Charles Bramesco
...kind of exhilarating.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Straight Outta Compton aims to cross cultures and sanctify the wisdom of the street-to make a universal underdog story. It succeeds on a visceral level.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
Straight Outta Compton is so beholden to the appeasement of so many artists and legacies and estates that none of it coheres as a movie.
Slate
John Swansburg
While no one will mistake this for a protest film-there are too many pool parties-the movie's portrait of a militarized police force all too eager to assault young black men can't help but resonate in our own moment.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A riveting film about the birth of not just one rap group but an entire genre.
International Business Times
Monica Castillo
Straight Outta Compton is a period piece, but it is not. It's snapshots of L.A. before and after Rodney King...it's still a part of that timeline, the legacy of criminalization of black and brown bodies and power-tripping cops.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A sprawling, overstuffed, formulaic but highly entertaining story of pop stardom and its discontents in which the pioneers of gangsta rap are burnished to a high mythological gloss.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The script is sharp, often funny, and compelling. It has one of the best ensemble casts of the year and the performances are superb.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Director F. Gary Gray has too big a story to tell, enough for a TV miniseries (or a season's worth of Behind the Music episodes), and you can see him straining to cram everything in even as the film stretches to the two-and-a-half hour mark.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Brashly winning and unapologetically self-serving.
Vanity Fair
Katey Rich
Straight Outta Compton earns its place in the pantheon of biopics that are good, just not as great as the artists who inspired them.
