Review of Tangerine (2015) by Cadover — 26 Aug 2015
While the trailer sets you up for a 'let's laugh at the trannies' comedy, the story takes a bit of a jarring turn after the first 15 minutes, throwing you into the tragic reality of this corner of LA. There are a few instances of amateur editing/dialogue/acting, but you get past it quickly and the overall impression you are left with is almost excellent, almost real.
Sean Baker cuts an early Baz Luhrmann-like figure with this film, but you quickly realize this is the furthest thing from a comedy. Tangerine walks you out of the theater with a heavy heart.
