Boyz n the Hood

CriticsCritics: 85
AudienceAudience: 7.9

Three friends come of age in South Central Los Angeles, where violence, unemployment, and crime shape everyday life. As they follow different paths and face painful consequences, their friendship and hopes for a better future are tested.

My take

You’ll likely appreciate this affecting, socially conscious coming-of-age drama if you value realistic characters and emotional stakes; Not for you if you want light entertainment or an escape from difficult subject matter.
