It’s a huge credit to writer and director Geremy Jasper then that “Patti Cake$,” which debuted at the 2017 edition of the festival on Monday, breaks through that familiar convention with flying colors.

Films about music scenes are often an iffy proposition commercially, but this New Jersey story about an aspiring female rap star could gain traction thanks to the strong performances and gritty soundtrack.

Music video director Geremy Jasper launches an unlikely rap star — and unforgettable indie underdog — in his high-energy feature debut.
2807d ago
Patti Cake$ moves to a familiar but irresistible beat.
2807d ago
The film ticks a lot of boxes. Underdog triumph. Showbiz triumph. Working-class heroics. Flagrant, often effective filmmaking technique, from a first-time feature writer-director, Geremy Jasper.

If "Patti Cake$" were a song, it would be the kind you hear on the radio and get excited about singing along with, until you realize it's not the song you thought, but another one that sounds like it; and because you liked the first song, you like this one, too, and after hearing the new one a few times you start singing along it.

Patti Cake$ is more than another zany coming-of-age story, honest enough and wired to blaze a trail of individuality with Danielle Macdonald dropping the right beats.
2807d ago
Ms. Macdonald is quite simply a revelation, capturing the reflexive self-confidence and defensive diffidence of the millennial generation with sneaky sincerity and offhand wit.

As an unlikely rapper on the rise, Danielle Macdonald is, herself, a star in the making.
2807d ago
Small-town New Jersey can be a petri dish for some pretty big dreams.
2807d ago
Jasper’s debut is a frustrating one, because he clearly shows a keen visual eye — an intro featuring childhood photos rapidly cut timed with music help fill in a backstory that could’ve been needless flashbacks, and anytime there’s a performance, the energetic camera is in the right place — but much of this drama feels mechanized for blunt audience reaction, rather than settling us into a world we can care about with stakes that render authentic.

8 Mile gets a distaff makeover in the tacky underdog crowd-pleaser Patti Cake$.
2807d ago
Patricia Dombrowski’s struggles and triumphs are detailed with a gravity that honors and elucidates her feelings.
2807d ago
Jasper hits every note of sentimental manipulation in a tale that’s as fleetingly affecting as it is insubstantial and mechanical.
2807d ago
Feel-good rapper comedy “Patti Cake$” doesn’t earn its mic.
2807d ago
Despite success of being picked up by Fox Searchlight, this tale of a white female rapper in New Jersey opts for audience-pleasing indie formula over authenticity.
