Priyanka Chopra’s second Hollywood movie, the comedy-drama A Kid Like Jake, premiered at the ongoing Sundance Film Festival to warm reception, with critics and audiences singling out the movie’s delicate tone, Claire Danes’ leading performance, and Priyanka’s supporting role.
The film focuses on the lives of a young couple and their son, Jake, who doesn’t conform to a specific gender. It grapples with the difficulties of raising a child who is different. Several critics who attended the premiere expressed positive reactions on Twitter.
All the @priyankachopra fans will be happy to know that she is quite good in A Kid Like Jake. She’s very much the supporting friend character, but she’s a memorable and important element. The Priyanka Chopra invasion of Hollywood continues.

A KID LIKE JAKE: Such a sweet, multifaceted, chatty, surprisingly funny depiction of parenting. Claire Danes and Jim Parsons have a barnburner of a fight scene that will destroy you. #Sundance
