Red Rocket - Recenzje

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

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.

...scrappy indie charmer.

...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...
