Review of Tangerine (2015) by Filmschooled — 23 Jul 2015
BAD EXECUTION of good intentions. I nearly walked out after 15 minutes (it was like sitting in Film Prod.1 again, with every mistake demo'ed (let's cross the 180, forget to white balance, use jarring random 20 seconds cuts of disparate music cause we can't afford to pay for a consistent track.
) Really AWFUL. The trannie-actors are winning enough once they warm up ... but character's are one note 90% of the time. I too don't get why it's a critical darling ... it's more sleazy than gritty, ugly-amateurish than avant garde and the characters are more petty-cruel to each other than deep-loyal (though there are a few moments.
) It's a B-movie: overacted, badly crafted slice-of-life melodrama.
