Red Rocket - Arvostelut

...scrappy indie charmer.

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

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.

...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.

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

...deliriously funny and deviously satirical...

...explosive character study.

...a story of the desperate lengths and depths that a free-thinker and scoundrel will go to in order to succeed.

...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...

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

...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.
