Radka, once celebrated as a playwright, finds herself questioning her purpose as she nears 40, experiencing something akin to a mid-life crisis and wondering about her direction in life and how to find satisfaction. Undeterred, she decides to try rapping, and it quickly becomes apparent to "D," the young person assisting with the music tracks, that she possesses a genuine aptitude for it. He even encourages her to perform live, suggesting a possible shift toward a more exciting future. Meanwhile, Radka’s agent, “Archie,” portrayed by Peter Kim, is attempting to secure a production deal for her play from "J Whitman," a questionable and openly gay figure known for exploiting aspiring actors, played by Reed Birney. The film weaves together Radka's rapping ambitions with her writing aspirations and the demands of her teaching job, where she guides a diverse group of students who are both challenging and gifted—all requiring careful management. When the movie is at its strongest, it shines: the rap lyrics are powerful and lyrical; the humor lands, though sometimes in an expected way; and Radka herself proves to be a relatable and appealing character. However, the film’s considerable length proves problematic, as director Blank seems unable to consistently maintain momentum or clarity throughout what ultimately feels like a fairly commonplace story of a woman attempting to redefine her life. I found it enjoyable enough, but it would have benefited from more impartial guidance during production.
