Critics Consensus: Patti Cake$ hits a number of predictable beats, but adds enough fresh elements -- not least Danielle MacDonald's potentially starmaking turn -- to make its underdog story work.

Reviews

Washington Blade

Brian T. Carney

New York cabaret singer Bridget Everett and acclaimed actress Catherine O’Hara turn in equally strong performances as her bitter alcoholic mother and her feisty grandmother.

One of the most entertaining movies you'll see all year, with just the right amount of emotional heft to make it memorable.

Richard Crouse

What begins as one rapper's a run-of-the-mill journey to get out from under the weight of her dreams snakes around to become a high-energy, fist-pumping story of overcoming odds with dignity and on your own terms.

Battleship Pretension

David Bax

With its mix of edifying realism and movie fantasy, it eventually becomes clear what Patti Cake$ really is. It's a legend, a myth, a fairytale.

Patti Cake$ is an underdog story that doesn't slip into the realms of mundanity that many such tales never elevate beyond, and that's in large part due to its talented lead and and dialogue written for her.
