Synopsis

“Majo” Tonorio, a.k.a. Filly Brown, is a raw, young Los Angeles hip-hop artist who spits from the heart. When a sleazy record producer offers her a crack at rap stardom, Majo faces some daunting choices. With an incarcerated mother, a record contract could be the ticket out for her struggling family. But taking the deal means selling out her talent and the true friends who helped her to the cusp of success.

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Gustavo Medrano IMHO this film seemed far superior to the IMDb rating. Reading about this rate I discovered that apply a weighted value, the valuation algorithm is secret and applies different "filters". It is quite possible that the highest and lowest votes are discarded. The performance of Gina Rodriguez is so good that many users vote 10, but that does not look at the results. After you see the movie, wait some days before to vote and rate the whole film, 7 or 8 is more accurate and we will look how rating improves. Please do not be discouraged by the low score and enjoy the story and the music. Despite his early death, the actress give us a huge sample of talent.
lupitasbutterfly Great movie! Excellent acting and story line! I give it a 10. The Olmos did it again! This movie had me on the edge of my seat hoping things would work out for Filly. It showed how much discrimination there still is in this country. Really sad what drugs can do to a mother's judgment. Drugs clouding a persons everything and amongst that, she put her own daughter's life in jeopardy. I was really glad to see that talent runs in the Olmos family. Like father like son! Watching this movie is a must. I need to buy it and add it to my movie library!
nemod12 I always found IMDb a serious site but i begin to loose sight of that.Of course that's not the flaw of the site or the makers/owners. But the sort of people that give a rating to a film or show doesn't say anything to me anymore.Just read the handful of reviews on this and don't look at this absurd rating. This film has soul and emotion and beauty and art in it.Don't gonna spoil anything. Just please , watch it. it's a great film with a warm hart.Very good performances from all the actors. Thus i also do not share the opinion from the end rating so far.
Yah Man I saw this by mistake actually and I'm glad I did! Man what a powerhouse this movie is! Majo (Gina Rodriguez) struggles to make it in the hip hop scene and that means awesome tracks and fast raps.But there's a lot more...we follow her family as well and while success comes, her personal life is a mess. But despite being lied to and manipulated she sticks to what she believes in and goes further then anyone believed.What amazed me was the musical story which basically follows her development as a person, from a shy girl that writes slam poetry to a young woman that's not afraid to let her voice be heard.Do not miss this because the casting, the music and the plot makes this a great enjoyment, it gave me goosebumps! Thumbs up!*More reviews on The Trailerpark*
