Patti dreams of being a rapper whilst living a paltry existence in Jersey. She works two jobs, has an alcoholic mother and an ailing nan. Will she make it to the top or burn out like her mother?

Following the music/sports tropes of downtrodden talent living in adversity this film has a few things going for it that lift it up to being worth your time. The cast are universally good at making the characters worth rooting for and the tunes are catchy as hell.

So whilst you will see a life of adversity, a glimpse of talent, a montage where it comes together, a final hurdle that gets in the way only for that moment of triumph to appear, it will be an entertaining journey.

Danielle MacDonald, Siddharth Dhananjay and Mamoudou Athie as Patti, Jerry and the Basterd respectively make this the film that it is. Sparking off each other and showing the audience something to root for. And Danielle’s rapping skills sell the whole thing as authentic.
