Patti Cake$

The most refreshing film I've seen in 2017 this year.

Like shit I think it was best.

I watched an underdog type of film in a time like now where now every single straight white male in Hollywood is definitely evil. They always have been. 

Anyway this film is truly my type of film to come out of Sundance. Female rapper? Underdog crew of minorities in general? Hot soundtrack? 

UHHHHHH, sign me tf up please!

Also a croaky old grandma getting in on the beats? 

I could go on.

This film came at the right time for me, due to a spate of going through many films on Hip Hop within a short space of time. Also most of those films being about male rappers was.... cool. But y'know most seem to have things against female artists. Females in rap and hip hop have been a massive influence in my music taste since the age of 17.

It ain't all about just those genres either. With a nice mix of rock as well, Patti Cake$ really is all I wanted it to be with the soundtrack, the storyline of reaching big dreams for the people always being put down and basically on point performances from all.

Lead member of PBNJ in the film is Patti who has little friends, mad rhyming skills and a mother who takes her resentment for a failed singing career out on her daughter.

This may be the best actress for this role, and a role which Danielle Macdonald serves confidently, as if she knows this character personally. 

AND mother fucking Cathy Moriarty plays Patti's grandmother, if you don't know, she's pretty much the driving force behind my favourite Casper the Friendly Ghost film - Casper Meets Wendy. She also did a great job in my favourite gay cult flick - But I'm a Cheerleader. 

I would advice you on watching this film as it equal parts hilarity to originality.
