In jeder Hinsicht ist Tangerine ein "Indie" Film. Es ist die Geschichte einer Transgender Prostituierten, die Weihnachten nach der Freundin ihres Zuhälters sucht. Tatsächlich wurde Tangerine mit einem iPhone gefilmt, was die Komödie nur umso liebeswerter macht. "Indie" von der Story als auch der Machart her! Sin-Dee Rella (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) wird nach sechs Wochen aus dem Gefängnis entlassen. Von ihrer besten Freundin erfährt sie, dass ihr Zuhälter sie während ihrer Haft betrog - und zwar mit einer Cisgender Geliebten. Dieses aufklärende Gespräch findet statt in einem Cafe, dauert einige Minuten und beweist, wieviel Humor die Schauspieler haben müssen - und wie gross die Kreativität der Macher Sean Baker und Chris Bergoch sein muss! Die Farben sehen aus wie in einem …

'Tangerine' is a fresh modern take on an older form of comedy. It's not full of jokes and gags. The humor comes from the characters and their evolving relationships.

Tangerine (2015) R Transgender prostitute Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) has just gotten out of prison. She is shocked to find out that her boyfriend and pimp, Chester (James Ransone), has left her for another woman. Sin-Dee is on a mission to find the cheating couple with the help of her best friend Alexandra (Mya Taylor). This is an interesting film shot entirely on iPhones but doesn’t look like it was. Mya Taylor’s performance as Alexandra, a woman who is trying to keep her best friend out of trouble, is the best thing about this film. Taylor gives her role a funny, sparkling turn, which makes her stand out from the rest of the cast. Shot of the streets of downtown L.A., the film, has a realistic feel to it and makes L.A., itself, one of the characters in the film. The film …
