Red Rocket - Comentarios

Sean Baker är en filmskapare vi borde visa större uppskattning, och någon som vi ännu bör fortsätta hålla ögonen på.

...Sean Baker has given us an adult American pastoral, essentially a comedy, and another study of tough lives at the margin, close in spirit to his lo-fi breakthrough Tangerine.

...scrappy indie charmer.

A beguiling and beautiful film about a total toerag, Red Rocket is a unique character study: Mikey Saber will charm your socks off, and you’ll hate him for it.

...an outsider with a survivor’s instinct and charisma to spare.

...det er utrolig fornøjeligt at se en film, der er så befriet for både moral og morale, men til gengæld har masser af menneskelighed – på godt og ondt.

Simon Rex leverer en stærk kandidat til årets præstation som Mikey...

...Baker and co-writer Chris Bergoch have made something close to a full-blown satire, documenting the exploits and blunders of someone who is essentially the villain of the movie.

There’s a wonderfully mischievous quality to the whole thing that can only be the result of fastidious design.

...weirdly fascinating.

This is an admirable work centering on a man who has likely never done an admirable thing in his entire rotten life...

...deliriously funny and deviously satirical...

...explosive character study.
