The audacious new film from writer-director Sean Baker (The Florida Project, Tangerine), starring Simon Rex in a magnetic, live-wire performance, RED ROCKET is a darkly funny and humane portrait of a uniquely American hustler and a hometown that barely tolerates him.
"Freewheeling and kissed by the magic hour light like Baker's previous movies, Red Rocket is among the filmmaker's best works." - RogerEbert.com
"Baker finds a kind of poetry in this pocket of Texas, packing it with a rich and diverse array of personalities" - Financial Times
"This is vivid, real-life film-making, without the need of an epic budget." - Guardian
