...both thrilling and heartbreaking, both boisterous and shatteringly sad.

...propulsive and entertaining through and through.

...you might be surprised just how quickly you commit to this once-in-a-lifetime ride.

...is as at least as much of a character study as his previous film Red Rocket...

We're swept away, but we keep one foot on the ground.

...an amazing, hypermodern concept for a film.

This is an undeniable star-making performance for Madison, who finds the grace and charm and stupidity and selfishness and wild-eyed wonder of Mikey, a tough survivor who falls for the oldest fairy tale in the book.

Mikey Madison sells every second of this stylish journey.

Not all heroes wear capes, but some have been known to don towering stripper heels. Which are much harder to pull off.

...marks Sean Baker's most earnest depiction of sex work yet.

Baker’s film-making is muscular and fluent.

Another hugely enjoyable ride from Sean Baker.
