Review of Tangerine (2015) by K Nife C — 29 Mar 2016
This movie is hilarious for the most part, it's a dramedy about a transsexual prostitute tracking down her pimp boyfriend after getting out of jail. Completely shot on several iPhone 6s (which I didn't realize until after the fact).
Surprisingly, it isn't nauseating to watch considering the camera, and there are some sequences that are just freaking beautiful. It is really graphic considering the subject matter but without a doubt tasteful.
About 10 minutes in I thought "John Waters would be proud." There seems to be a loving awareness of Female Trouble and Pink Flamingos here. That's not meant to dissuade you from watching, considering Tangerine is way more subtle than those movies are, or at least less disgusting.
