If you loved Tangerine, try Red Rocket
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Sean Baker, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tangerine, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Red Rocket is
Sean Baker goes back to the fringes again. Mikey Saber, an ex-adult film performer, finds himself back in his small Texas hometown, seeking refuge with his ex and her mother. His efforts to reintegrate are complicated by a new fixation on a local girl. It’s a portrait of a man who hasn't grown, set against a landscape that hasn't changed much either.
