Danielle Macdonald flashes a smile on the the red carpet while attending the premiere of her critically acclaimed film Patti Cake$ held at The Metrograph on Monday evening (August 14) in New York City.

The Australian breakout actress was joined by her co-stars Bridget Everett, Cathy Moriarty, Mamoudou Athie, Siddharth Dhananjay, Patrick Brana, Wass Stevens and writer-director Geremy Jasper.

Also in attendance to show their support was Alan Cumming and Arturo Castro.

The drama is centered on aspiring rapper Patricia Dombrowski, a.k.a. Killa P, a.k.a. Patti Cake$ (Danielle), who is fighting an unlikely quest for glory in her downtrodden hometown in New Jersey.

Don’t miss it when it hits theaters on August 18! Watch the trailer here.

FYI: Danielle is wearing a Marina Rinaldi dress.

Liev Schreiber went above and beyond to star as real-life fighter Chuck Wepner, who fought Muhammad Ali at the peak of his career but then spiraled into a life of alcohol and cocaine, in his latest film.

To make the boxing scenes more realistic in Chuck, the 49-year-old actor decided to do the all the fights himself, and at one point was left with hazy vision after taking 800 punches.

“By the end of the fourth day of shooting, I wasn’t seeing so good, but I think it was worth it,” Liev joked (via NY Daily News). “What really grabbed me about ‘Chuck‘ was the pitfall of celebrity and fame. His was a kind of cautionary tale about the dangers of that particular kind of narcissism – the desire to be loved by the anonymous mob and not the individuals to whom we are truly connected, which is something I think a lot of people can relate to.”

The big breakout star of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival is undoubtedly going to be newcomer Danielle Macdonald after the amazing reception she got for her new movie Patti Cake$!

The 25-year-old Australian actress stepped out for the premiere alongside co-stars Bridget Everett, Siddharth Dhananjay, Mamoudou Athie, Cathy Moriarty, Patrick Brana, and Wass Stevens, as well as writer-director Geremy Jasper on Monday (January 23) in Park City, Utah.

The movie got a standing ovation from the audience at the premiere and Danielle received another standing ovation when she walked on stage for the Q&A! It’s very likely that the film is going to receive the Audience Award at the festival.

Danielle plays an aspiring New Jersey rapper in the movie and she opened up during the Q&A about how she knew tons of rap songs already, but didn’t know much about the rap music world or who the artists were. After spending two and a half years on the project, she has a much better appreciation for the genre of music!
