“im ok with predatory behaviour and grooming minors, but i draw the line at pretending to be in the military”
JayDec 27, 2021this movie is like a GTA cutscene in the best way possible way
FramesofnickDec 2, 2021just fantastic. this year’s Uncut Gems. Sean Baker is one of our finest directors, just making the most rewatchable, rich slices of Americana. far more comedic than the Florida Project, but darker in a much quieter way

- Nick Dubberly is "meh" onRed Rocket
I suppose Sean Baker really likes making films about the sex industry. The lone bright spot in this film is Suzanna Son who steal absolutely every single scene she is in! Other than that it’s fairly uneventful and I was mostly bored. I’ll probably never watch again.
Niyah dislikedRed RocketNo plot, just a lot of sex that holds no meaning. Nothing entertaining about it, I felt myself constantly getting distracted 3/10
parker dislikedRed Rocketjust. no.
- 𝒮𝒶𝓂 likedRed Rocket
i liked the characters. i didn’t like mike, he was a creep and loser. the ending was good when he got kicked out but i’m very confused by the very ending? it was very strange haha. i like the rawness of the movie tho kinda similar to florida project filmography wise, 7/10
k4yl4 likedRed RocketI’m not a fan of those makeup ur own endings in movies but I thought this movie was good. He got what he deserved honestly they could’ve done more. he sucks, he fr is a suitcase pimp. I’m team Lex and Lil on this one🫡 the moment he saw strawberry was where it all went wrong
nevan lovedRed Rocketas a sean baker fan who has been moved by his emotional storytelling, i didn’t know what to expect from the unique premise of this film; the comedy and superb writing all lands, coupled with perfect performances from general nobodies as always. strawberry was gorgeous
- Reyham lovedRed Rocket
so fun to follow around a character like Mikey. Someone who’s so likeable and charming, you have to be alert to catch his every word because he has so much to say, but he’s also horrible and predatory and you have to watch him lie and screw up everything
Bennie lovedRed RocketSean Baker is masterful at giving us a glimpse into small pockets of American life. I left this film feeling conflicted about the predatory yet captivating main character of the film. Fascinating and what felt like a real American story. 8.5
Mikey is "meh" onRed RocketA bit chaotic, story was okish. Liked the characters though. But it felt off and super weird how he persuaded her to do porn. Funny that he used a postethic penis although he did porn in his early career

It was terrible and if someone else tells you otherwise they are lying to you
CMChristopher Mitchellstory just rambled to the end with no point. A few comedic scenes. No ending,movie just stops. Boarder line pedophilic.

Rex, meanwhile—an actor and former VJ with a brief early stint in adult entertainment—delivers an unequivocally great comic performance. Simultaneously sweet and icky, he gives the character a light, even gentle spirit that’s at odds with the materialist manner with which he thinks about and engages in sex.

Red Rocket is so arresting because of how it keeps hope alive by rescuing devastation from the jaws of happiness.

Everything in Red Rocket happens just a little too easily, which is one of the weaknesses of a self-indulgent regional satire that stretches its perhaps-80-minute plot over more than two hours.
