" Date: 2/23/2022 Viewed: Netflix First Viewing Note: I remember seeing the TV commercials for Tangerine when it first came out in 2015, but I never got around to watching it until now. I decided to finally watch it because it's currently available on Netflix (As of 2/23/2022). I'm glad I finally got to see it because it was quite enjoyable. Tangerine is, in my opinion, a good film. I really like how the film was shot, with Sean Baker coming up with a unique idea by using three iPhone 5S smart"

"First Viewing Plot: A transgender prostitute tears through Tinseltown on Christmas Eve searching for the pimp who broke her heart. I only watched Tangerine because it was a 99 cent rental on iTunes and it's set at Christmas, but this is easily the worst film of my Christmas film binge so far (yes, worse than the 1997 Jack Frost). From the outset, I did not find any of the characters likeable, endearing or interesting, and I immediately regretted my decision to give this movie a shot. Unfortuna"

" Director: Sean Baker His 5th Movie My 3rd movie watched from the director. Obnoxious from the get-go. I felt like I was losing brain cells trying to listen to the dialogue. Knowing this was made with mobile phones helped me get through most of it. I liked the shoestring/guerrilla style filmmaking. Even if I couldn't stand the characters or dialogue the pacing and filming techniques kept me interested enough. __________ Location: West Hollywood"

Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend hasn’t been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the working girl and her best friend, Alexandra, embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumour.

Tangerine

“Meet Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez), a trans sex worker fresh off a 28-day prison stint as she embarks on an odyssey across Los Angeles. Her mission? To confront her cheating pimp/boyfriend (James Ransome) and the “real fish” (translation: cisgender female, played by Mickey O’Hagan) he slept with while she was locked away. Joining her mission is Alexandra (Mya Taylor), Sin-Dee’s best friend and fellow trans sex worker, and Razmik (Karren Karaguilan), a cab driver with a predilection for trans sex workers.   Tangerine is a lot in a short running time, much of it the sight of Sin-Dee hoisting Dinah, the “fish,” across town in order to confront Chester, said boyfriend. She can’t carry around her dead carcass, so the foul-mouthed, barely dressed living presence will have to d” read more
