It always amazes me how Sean Baker makes movies& this certainly isn't an exception. The setting, story, use of (untrained) actors: perfect.
One of those movies where you love to hate the protagonist. I was glued to the screen from beginning to end.
Red Rocket asks one tough question: what if a dude was morally reprehensible and really annoying?
My absolute favorite of 2021. Every dynamic of filmmaking that exists is superb in this film. I especially loved the 16mm cinematography.
I don’t know what was more disturbing, the parallels between Rex and his character — or his stellar seizing of the role. Good watch!
Great movie. The mix between failed porn star and small town Texas deplorables makes really good comedy. I think most people would enjoy it.
Amazing movie where you really love to hate the protagonist
8/10. Every character felt real. Direction/Acting/Dialogue incredible. Felt like it had room for a more meaningful climax though.
If you love watching awful dudes slowly dig their own graves, boy do I have a movie for you.
A little slow, but still pretty chaotic which I liked. Thought it could be a little more cohesive but was overall really solid(pun intended)
