The closing film of the Directors' Fortnight at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. An American film directed and written by Jeremy Jasper, starring Danielle Macdonald. The story depicts a small-town girl chasing the American dream of becoming a rapper. Who says a fat person can’t make it? Though plus-size Patti is extremely overweight, she has big dreams and fantasizes about dominating the rap scene one day. However, the harsh reality leaves her stuck; she works as a waitress during the day and as a bartender at night, while even her alcoholic mother has little faith in her. Despite the mockery and ridicule from others, she perseveres, and fate leads her to meet a reclusive master, even her grandmother in a wheelchair wants to join her in an impromptu freestyle! Director Jeremy Jasper, who once harbored dreams of music, draws from his personal experiences for creative inspiration, not only directing and writing but also handling the film's music, successfully blending hip-hop and metal rock styles. Like the Adele of the rap world, the powerful Australian newcomer Danielle Macdonald perfectly embodies the role of Patti, with every performance igniting an exhilarating atmosphere. The film received widespread acclaim after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and was later selected for the Cannes Film Festival's Directors' Fortnight, with Variety calling it the "best discovery of the year," while The New York Times praised it for delivering "the most direct joy."
