Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Steineded How sad is this?

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

dingane As others have said, I went into this not expecting much. I expected it to be a maudlin, pull on your heartstrings story about a large white girl who wants to rap. It was that without being maudlin or pulling on your heartstrings. It strikes the right balance of silly and sober. I was surprised to see that Danielle MacDonald can rap as well. Does it resemble 8 Mile and Hustle & Flow? Yes it does. But it's also its own thing. And just because one or two good movies were made on an idea doesn't mean those are the only movies that should ever be made for the rest of time. If so, we'd have like 50 movies to tide us over until the end of humanity.

Joe Stemme Again, the phrase 'Sundance Favorite' ends up being the kiss of death. It does have some heart and style, and Cathy Moriarity is a hoot, but, it ends up collapsing under the mountain of cliches. Every time the movie picks up a tad of momentum out comes another hackneyed trope in the wanna be musician screenwriting handbook. Danielle Macdonald shows a bit of charm as the title rapper, and the supporting cast has their moments, but, it's not enough to make Writer-Director Geremy Jasper's movie get over the hump. It's all well and good to show a struggling lower class person fight to get ahead, but, it cheapens the effect when that battle is under-cut at every turn by sappy feel-good moments.

jonopagden Best movie of 2017. Awesome soundtrack and great performances from everyone in the cast!

Stephen Black What a shocker! I didn't think I would enjoy this but had time to kill. I was impressed enough to post a review, which I never do. The characters pulled me in and really made me feel something. Make me feel something, angry, sad, happy, scared, confused, anything. A good movie (for me) takes me away from my life and lets me see the world through others eyes for an hour and a half. This is not a prospective I would ever have imagined I would enjoy but I did. By the end of the movie I was rooting for Pati and her friends. I really felt vested in what I was seeing all a while through their eyes. Great acting, great story, great idea all around. Watching this movie was time well spend. Kudos!
