Thoughts : Patti Cake$ (2017)

Hip-hop has always been the voice of the underappreciated, unheard and underrepresented.  Those that break through the glass ceiling towards success are generally the ones with the fortitude to survive all of the obstacles that inevitably occur.  One of the obstacles that has not gotten the amount of focus it deserves is being a minority in a culture that is heavily minority-based.  The film Patti Cake$ brilliantly balances many of these aspects, and the result is a wonderfully fresh film covering somewhat familiar ground. 

Patti ‘Dumbo’ Dombrowski (Danielle Macdonald), aka Patti Cake$ / Killa P, is a young, overweight white woman from New Jersey with hopes and aspirations to make a name for herself in the rap game.  With her companion Jheri (Siddharth Dhananjay), she chips away at trying to get a foot in the industry door for her group PB&J, but home struggles and confidence issues continually hold her back in a world full of hard knocks.  A chance meeting with oddball producer and performer Basterd (Mamoudou Athie) brings new energy into the PB&J mix, and things begin to look hopeful for Patti and her friends.  As Patti gains opportunities, she simultaneously deals with constant put downs from her mother Barb (Bridget Everett) because of her love for hip-hop.  With so many issues of skill, race, drive and dedication coming at Patti all at once, her life becomes a whirlwind that demands her to find her footing and make definitive, life-changing choices.

Imagine Hustle & Flow, but with a non-traditional protagonist for the particular realm and a modern day aesthetic.  The same DIY feel permeates the film, as do similar themes (songs about your struggle, doing what you can with little to nothing, finding inspiration in sources the culture would normal ignore).  What makes this film unique, however, is its New Jersey location in the current climate of hip-hop.  East Coast ideals such as lyricism and competitive emceeing take center stage, but trap production replaces the boom-bap feel, and even Basterd’s noise is similar to bands like Death Grips, Clipping and Moodie Black.  Macdonald and Dhananjay bring powerful and infectious energy, respectively, to their performances, and nice touches like Cathy Moriarty’s Nana becoming the oddball mascot in a crew full of outcasts gives the film heart.

Speaking of heart, it’s not just about flash in this film, as some very thought-provoking and emotional ground is covered.  Loss, both in death and in separation, is a major part of the narrative.  Learning your personal value is a key lesson in this film.  The importance of family, both blood and symbolic, carries much weight in the story as well.  As with any good underdog story, there’s plenty of ‘fall down 9 times, get up 10′ within the story.  One aspect that could have been overdone, but ended up being handled perfectly in terms of quantity and story placement, was race versus the hip-hop culture.  The film handles those not ‘privileged’ enough to be born into it being merely guests at best (and culture vultures at worst) right around the same time it touches on how the parental - child gap of understanding when it comes to hip-hop is tougher for those considered minorities in the culture, be it ‘acting black’, not ‘respecting rock and roll’, or so on.

Production-wise, Geremy Jasper delivers a vivid product that is full of life.  The cinematography is similar to that of Precious, but with the necessary restraint needed to keep things grounded in reality.  The quick flashes of Patti’s fantasies are highly stylized but appropriate, and many of the locations have very strong production design and lighting (the strip club, Basterd’s house, etc.).  The music created for the film holds up on its own while being informative to the film overall, with each song being slightly better than the last to establish a parallel with the growth of PB&J’s members.

Danielle Macdonald takes on a very difficult role, but her charm and ability to show versatility in terms of confidence really carries her (and us) through the story.  Siddharth Dhananjay could have easily been a slapstick, one note character, but he is actually played incredibly logically sound, often being the voice of reason among the emotional.  Mamodou Athie comes off as incredibly intriguing while not becoming fully isolated, making you curious enough to pay attention, but given enough personality to not ignore.  Bridget Everett plays the grown-up child quite well, balancing properly off of Macdonald both in looks and energy.  Cathy Moriarty is the comedic scene stealer in her handful of appearances throughout the film.

I was completely unfamiliar with Patti Cake$ when it was recommended to me, but I am very happy to have discovered it.  If I ever find myself with a place to screen films, or better yet in a Z-Channel situation, I would definitely put together a day of hip-hop underdog stories.  It would likely read Krush Groove, Hustle & Flow, 8-Mile, and then Patti Cake$.
