In Patti Cake$, now playing in Toronto, the 26-year-old actress with flowing copper-coloured tresses plays Patricia Dombrowski, a.k.a. Patti Cake$ and Killa P, a bartender in a Jersey dive who dreams of being a star rapper. Up next are the choice assignments Dumplin’ and White Girl Problems, but Patti Cake$ is the movie of the moment for the Sydney-born Macdonald. You’re not from New Jersey and you weren’t into rap until you made Patti Cake$. There’s also a message of female empowerment in Patti Cake$, because so many people tell Patti that she shouldn’t be rapping, her mom among them.
