Pimp: Rainha do Gueto

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!!!

One thing I can say about this movie is that they tried really hard...they really did...the movie is way to short for the plot that they are trying to pull off in 1 hour and 25 minutes...too many characters with a story smashed in...like trying to fit a big foot in a small shoe...and maybe if they didn't try to may KeKe Palmer's character so gangsta and hard it may have been more believable...hmmm...probably not...it would for sure be good for a first date movie because you'd always remember going to see it if it worked out...would definitely be a story to tell and a laugh that would continue to go on...the movie wasn't good or believable...definitely not a "Hustle and Flow"...

I really didn't expect that at all. I expected low budget and bad acting but i gave it a shot and glad I did. A ghetto love story so powerful and realistic that it pulled my heart strings, Great job.

7.1

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 .

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.
