just 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

A charismatic and resourceful dirtbag huckster pragmatically exploits every relationship he's ever had and threatens to destroy his hometown (alongside every life he deems worthless in it) to maybe be able to afford to live in California for a few months. Of course Sean…

story 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.
