Tangerine

Hit Sundance indie film shot almost entirely on an iPhone 5S, following a working girl fresh out of a month-long term in prison. Hearing news that her pimp boyfriend cheated on her, she teams up with her best friend to search for the truth – and possibly vengeance.

"[This] rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles, including an Armenian family dealing with their own repercussions of infidelity. Director Sean Baker’s prior films brought rich texture and intimate detail to worlds seldom seen on film. Tangerine follows suit, bursting off the screen with energy and style. Exhibiting fierce chemistry with his actors to fashion a dazzlingly distinctive film filled with humor and heart, Baker’s talent is on full display. A decidedly modern Christmas tale told on the real streets of L.A., Tangerine defies expectation—a veritable cinematic jolt." (Sundance Film Festival)
