Pimp: Rainha do Gueto

Not going to lie, I do love a bleak movie and more than anything this film demonstrated the lack of glamour in the world of pimps hustling to make a buck. Keke Palmer's Wednesday is conflicting and hard to love but she rolls out the part beautifully, Hayley Ramm's long suffering Nikki is also a beautiful character eliciting so much emotion as a girl doing whatever she needs to keep her 'momma' happy and that dream alive. Vanessa Morgan as Destiny is by the numbers and Aunjanue Ellis as Wednesday's mother draws comparisons with Monique's stellar turn in 'Precious'

But the standout for me was Edi Kathegi's amazing run as the unhinged, merciless Psycho Pimp, Kenny! Edi brought some chops.

Whilst this isn't an Oscar winner it deserves a nod for its ambition and its deep characterisations maybe they could have spread that a little further but a good effort nonetheless.

This film was better then I thought it would be. the acting is good and they all portray the roles really well,i got into the film. I would have rated it higher if they made me feel for the characters.

This is a coming of age story based on how hustlers really live their life while they struggle & Keke Palmer played a good part in this role. It was well done & most of the actors were really great. So for all of you thats saying the movie was trash didnt really catch the reality of this movie & to me its one of the best films I will continue to watch. Well done Keke Palmer! Keep it up with your career!

Ambitious little film that tries very hard to make it's point, KeKe Palmer step into a role that's out of type and nails it, other than that, it all over the place and leans into exploitation territory with the thin plot, with more time and character development and better story detail it would been much better than it tried to be,I am not going to pick this film apart , it is good late night viewing and not a bad film altogether .

Keke is incredible.....what a brilliant performance. Broke my heart to see her character's struggle. she brought her A game and so did the rest of the cast. I'm blown away by the simplicity yet complexity of the story.

Bravo to the filmmaker!!!! two thumbs up!!!
