Patti Cake$ (2017)
Written & directed
by Geremy Jasper this film stars Danielle Macdonald, Bridget Everett,
Siddharth Dhanajay and Mamoudou Athie. A young, overweight, white
woman from New Jersey aspires to be a rapper but is held by her
alcoholic mother.
There is a lot to
enjoy about this film that skirts being cheesy at times but over all
manages to stay on the right side most of the time. An enjoyable ride
if not overly deep I would say the highlight is Danielle Macdonald's
performance, especially when required to rap. If the plot of this
film had had a few less generic story beats then this could have been
a real winner but sadly it's a little too predictable at times.
3/5
