"IT JUMPS OFF THE SCREEN AND WOWS YOU LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS. A groundbreaking film that leaves you in stitches while quietly breaking your heart. A VISUALLY INNOVATIVE KNOCKOUT THAT GRABS YOU FROM THE FIRST FRAME."
"BOTH HILARIOUS AND HEART-ATTACK SERIOUS. What’s extraordinary is that it’s everything an entertaining, old-fashioned, mainstream Hollywood comedy should be and no longer is. THESE CHARACTERS DESERVE A PLACE AT THE TABLE THE WAY THIS MOVIE DESERVES A PLACE AT THE MULTIPLEX."
". THIS MOVIE! THIS MOVIE IS EVERYTHING. An ingenious blast of fresh air so florid and electric that it feels like a Pedro Almodóvar remake of Crank."
"UPROARIOUS. A MUST-SEE. EXPLODES WITH VITALITY."
"RAUCOUS AND BAWDY. By the end, Baker and his actors have led us to a place beyond comedy — you may still be laughing, but your breath catches a little on the way out."
"ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING FILMS OF THE YEAR. Tangerine may not be the summer comedy we asked for, but it just might be the summer comedy we need."
"A BEAUTIFULLY FILMED, SWOONINGLY SCORED, GRACEFULLY PERFORMED WONDER OF A MOVIE. An intimate, funny, and surprisingly poignant portrait in miniature of a few fascinating American lives."
"ENCHANTING. It’s a pleasure to tag along for the day."
"RIOTOUS, DARING, AND CRACKLING WITH VITALITY."
"LOUD, FEROCIOUS AND TREMENDOUSLY FUNNY."
"GRADE A-. A lewd, exhuberant comedy."
"A TOUGH YET TENDER, GRITTY YET GORGEOUS MOVIE MADE WITH INGENIOUS SKILL. A neo-screwball chase flick with a dash of Rainer Werner Fassbinder. A dizzy, often exuberant down-and-dirty romp."
"EXACTLY THE TYPE OF MOVIE THAT CAN SPARK A REVOLUTION."
"IT’S CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION. A freewheeling, raucously funny street opera with a sweet and soulful center, pulsing with enough verve and vitality to erase any whiff of the “issue film” it might have been."
"WILDLY ENTERTAINING."
"PURE ENERGY – A DAMN FUN RIDE."
"RAUNCHY, ABRASIVE AND SHOCKINGLY SWEET."
"IT’S LIKE NOTHING YOU’VE SEEN BEFORE."
"PERFECTLY PITCHED AND OUTRAGEOUSLY ENTERTAINING."
"THE YEAR'S BUZZIEST MOVIE."
"Trashy, lurid, and hilariously profane — exploitation in the best, most cinematic sense — but without ever losing the thread of human ache that connects the characters to each other."
"HILARIOUS. Humanizing and prejudice-challenging—an instant cult movie."
"A big-hearted work of insight and unapologetically wild humor. Even those who don’t count themselves among the transgender-prostitute-movie-shot-on-an-iPhone demographic will want to try Tangerine."
"THE FINAL RESULT IS INCREDIBLE. Tangerine is funny, gut-wrenching and heartwarming in equal measure. It's a vivid, powerful slice of life and truly a movie of its moment."
"Great fun, both visually and verbally."
"A brief, strange and deeply rewarding trip and ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AMERICAN FILMS OF THE YEAR. A gorgeous, timely and possibly profound human comedy."
"Must-see"
"Gorundbreaking."
"Critic’s Pick"
" Ingeniously unique and absolutely delicious"
"Frenetically paced, sublimely strange, and admirably skillful."
"This ribald, raucous sex comedy is stacked high with laughs."
"Take a break from the blockbuster summer movie schlock and go see a film that will make you want to talk about it for hours afterward and maybe throw back a few shots of tequila."
"Tangerine represents a quantum leap for trans people on film."
"Tangerine pops with a rare sense of on-the-street energy."
"It’s a vital, affecting piece of filmmaking."
"Sean Baker’s zippy, riotous comedy is the real deal, loaded with comic flair and laced with an arresting poignancy."
"Furiously alive."
"Funny, touching and delirious… Humming with the subversive energy of an early Almodóvar film."
ABOUT THE FILM
It's Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee (newcomer Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend (James Ransone, STARLET, “Generation Kill”) hasn't been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the sex worker and her best friend, Alexandra (newcomer Mya Taylor), embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumor. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles.
