Tangerine
The Florida Project
(2015, 2017, Sean Baker)
Watched these last night, as the gory thing I had chosen bored the arse off me.
The first film centres around two friends who go on a rather low rent odyssey after one drops a bombshell of sorts. Some fun to be had here, even if it does devolve into cliche at the end.
Onto his second flick, which revolves around life for some pre teens during the holidays. Yet again we are at the lower end of society, with folks just trying to get by ... by any means necessary ahem. Decent performances from the kids and a total lack of oversight again gets deflated by a plot twist that reminded me more of Loach than anything else tbh.
Will try and watch Red Rocket shortly, as the poster promises something ... different ahem. We'll see ....
