Why watch this film?
After films like 'Project Florida' and 'Tangerina', filmmaker Sean Baker has become one of the most interesting names in Hollywood independent cinema - and 'Red Rocket' solidifies this perception. Just like in his other films, which talk about excluded and rejected figures from society, the feature film here explores the figure of Mikey (Simon Rex), an actor of adult films in decline who decides to go back to his hometown. But of course, nobody wants him there, forcing him to go through a search to prove himself and show that he is worthy of being there, in that space. Special mention for the performance of Rex ('Scary Movie 3'), in the great (perhaps only so far) film of his career.

From the same director
The Florida Project
The world is amazing or terrible to a child's eyes and it is this point of view that we follow in 'Project Florida'. In fact, the colors of the movie seem to refer to the child's imagination. The story takes place in Florida, as the title delivers, and shows a hard American reality that we are not familiar with.
Tangerine
The first ever feature-length film shot entirely on iPhones, the director used three, and edited on an app. Despite the limitations, the production has great quality and is an innovation both visually and in terms of content. 'Tangerine' shows a reality rarely explored in cinema and does it in a delicate way.
Comedy
Psychic by Accident
In the plot, at the age of 40, architect Ulisses (Otaviano Costa), skeptical of his career and unsure of his talents, visits a “vocational coach” who promises to find people’s true vocation. After drinking suspicious tea offered by the professional in her crazy ritual, Ulisses blacks out and has his belongings stolen. But mysteriously he leaves there with a strange power: discovering, with just a touch, people's true vocation.
Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie
Monk steps out of retirement as his stepdaughter’s wedding turns tragic when her fiancé dies in a bungee jumping accident.
Descendants: The Rise of Red

Kinds of Kindness
A triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
