If you loved 12 Years a Slave, try Straight Outta Compton
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to 12 Years a Slave, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Straight Outta Compton is
South Central LA, summer heat, police sirens. Five young men, honest rhymes, and hardcore beats, frustration and anger in every lyric. F Gary Gray grounds a rebellious origin story.
