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.

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.
