Review of Dope

Dope (1968)
1/10
A pretentious, annoying, boring mess.
1 January 2020
Poorly filmed, audio that is either unintelligible, out of sync or completely unrelated to the visual and not a thread of a story. To call this a documentary is false advertising at the least and intentionally misleading at worst. One hour, twenty nine minutes and twenty two seconds of random scenes cut together with no discernible relationship to each other. If you don't know what the plot of this "documentary" is (supposed to be) before watching it, you'll have even less of an idea after you've seen it. There are no spoilers in this review because there is nothing to spoil. While yes, it does have actual footage of real people taking real drugs during the late 60s, in places that look to be London, there's no way you can call this cobbled together mess a documentary.
