Tangerine (2015)


MUST WATCH Very funny and really well made this story of a transgender prostitute searching for her pimp boyfriend on Christmas eve sounds divisive but its surprises with it's basic humanity. Amazing looking when you consider it was shot on phones and the two leads are fantastic, funny and very rude. It is realistic but not gritty, neither uplifting or depressing it's a simple story told brilliantly. It looks at friendship, love and accepts the transgender characters with the ease that modern times should, in many ways its beautiful with a side of nasty.


Like This Watch These: Pretty Woman (1990) A very romanticized view of prostitutes in L.A., The Skin I Live In (2011) Another must watch, just brilliant, watch without knowing anything, To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar (1995) Enormous, silly fun.
