Patti Cake$ Ratings & Reviews
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
The performances are all first-rate - particularly Bridget Everett as Macdonald's haggard mother - but first time writer-director Geremy Jasper makes more bad choices than his misguided characters here.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A rough-edged charmer that puts its own stamp on the underdog story.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This is a real story, one with real heart, real emotion, all of it centered around a main character whose faults and shortcomings are every bit as fascinating as her strengths and attributes prove to be.

Robert Daniels
Patti Cake$ is the outsiders' plea for acceptance, even when those taste makers are deaf to the notes.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It has some emotional resonance and its fair share of laughs. But it's a story we've seen a million times before, and that seems like the one quality a big-sale indie film shouldn't boast.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Patti Cake$" charts a path of rise and fall, breakthrough and disappointment, montage and romance that would be woefully predictable if we weren't having so much fun tagging along.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
It's a real crowd-pleaser, and I hope a lot of people will be inspired by its mixture of grittiness and uplift.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
A hearty feel-good stew of hip-hop and tough love served up by the writer-director Geremy Jasper.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
If you see it, there may be stretches where you'll want to give up and say, "Enough already." Yet something in Danielle Macdonald's performance keeps us in our seats ...
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The story of a white suburban redhead chasing hip-hop glory may set off alarms about cultural appropriation, but the film mostly disarms them, or mixes them into the soundtrack.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
In a terrific performance, [Macdonald] simply blows right past the struggling-musician clichés, elevating the movie along the way.
NPR
Ella Taylor
For all its jittery attitude and outsider milieu ... the movie is too bent on pleasing crowds to cohere into a point of view.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Take "8 Mile" and cross it with "Hustle & Flow" and add a little bit of "Precious" and you have "Patti Cake$," a hip-hop underdog story about finding the rhythm by following your own beat.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The movie unfolds in a dead-end working-class community (Bergen County, New Jersey), with a nobody protagonist proving her worth through the strength, elegance, and wisdom of her rhymes.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
What Patti Cake$ lacks in narrative creativity, the film makes up for in its casting.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Patti Cake$" winds up being a celebration of art, enterprise and self-invention that's as tough as it is touching. At the risk of mixing metaphors, not to mention musical genres, it rocks.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It's like déja-vu with a breakbeat. The most remarkable thing about the film is how little you'll actually mind by the end.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
The movie's documentary instincts are much sharper than its drama and ultimately much more memorable. Its sense of place and uniformly superb performances make it worth seeing, and maybe ultimately singing along with.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
a rousing and triumphant tale of freedom, creative expression, self-discovery, finding your voice -- and actually being heard. Imagine that.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Patti Cake$ motors along steadily on Macdonald's unsentimental charisma.
