11/27/2015 - Tangerine (2015) - 7/10

Funny, quirky, poignant, powerful, the comically mellow dramatic wrapped in the sobering sense of the real. A fun, thoughtful, and special little treat.

Amazingly shot on an iPhone, so well that, for many shots, you wouldn't know unless you were told. I also think that it allowed for a more real/incognito shoot.

Wonderfully lives within itself; a gaudily bright but depressingly dark world of chosen gender labels and put upon sexual occupations. Prostitution just is. Transgender just is. It isn't until the last scene that the "horrors of the outside world" reveal themselves, slamming us back into sympathy and the tragic truth of small mindedness.

It is a small indie film, housing a tongue-in-cheek truth in a twisted bleak fantasy. Unique, small, and completely worth your while.
