What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tangerine shatters casting conventions and its filmmaking techniques are up-to-the-minute, but it's an old-fashioned comedy at heart -- and a pretty wonderful one at that.

Andrea Thompson Chicago Reader Their bond is largely what transforms another depressing Christmas in LA into a riotous adventure, even as it includes brothels, infidelity, meth, and kidnapping. Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Morgan Collado Autostraddle I enjoyed it... But the way it's set up, how it's shot, the progression of the plot - it's clear that it is offering up the story to a mostly white, bougie audience. It was voyeuristic in the worst possible way. Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Mey Rude Autostraddle Most of the movie's slow-burning heat comes from Mya Taylor's amazingly deep and deliberate - and often uproariously comedic - performance as Alexandra Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages Baker’s film is a heartfelt rush to the head that extends across racial, sexual, gender and social boundaries. Aug 1, 2023 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Tangerine unostentatiously celebrates fluidity, community, support and is generally quite hearteningly right-on... Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Kat Hughes THN From a technical standard point, Tangerine is a marvel. Baker’s filmmaking style pioneered modern indie film-making.

Michael L The worst Christmas movie that I ever saw Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful! This movie explores raw humanity on the dirty sidewalks of LA. Its crudely shot style matches its message perfectly. It may take a little effort to get into it. But if you have some patience and an open mind, you'll be rewarded well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Tristan C Pure drama and chaos in a modern Tarantino-esque drama Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Stephon S This movie was pure chaos! I love it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Ellis M Despite the absence of insider input, tangerine creates a candid and. sensitive depiction of the sex industry rarely seen on screen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Miles B This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Only watch this if it is free on your streaming service and prepare for boredom. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
