Tangerine is executive produced by the Duplass brothers, Mark you may remember from The League.  Directed and co-written by Sean Baker who shot the entire movie on an iPhone.

The story goes, when transgender prostitute Sin-Dee gets out of prison, she finds out from her good friend and fellow trade worker, Alexandra, that her pimp/boyfriend is cheating on her.  Sin-Dee sets out to find her cheating guy, the biological woman he’s cheating with and confront both of them.

At the same time, one of the trade’s regular’s, a cab driver named Razmik, is a huge fan of the girls.  His life becomes intertwined with Sin-Dee’s during the course of the movie.  It’s a gritty glimpse into a seedy street world that is fairly compelling and kind of funny of times.  Ultimately, the movie just kind of ends without much of a pay off, but it’s pretty watchable.  Not a bad rental.

I give Tangerine a 7 out of 10 keggers.  It’s currently playing on Netflix.
