A neurotic portrait of a Los Angeles gutter shot with an iPhone. Irresistible.

(50th KVIFF) As in his début, Sean Baker dives into a socially problematic group of the population to examine the unhappiness of their everyday lives. However, he doesn’t do it through a slow, broody drama full of soulful phrases and painful looks, but in a bloody sexy comedy with fast editing and likeable melodies, where everyone fucks and bitches at every corner. Satisfaction. The sweaty and dirty atmosphere of LA during the day and at night is beautifully captured. And the ending was also pretty cathartic for me, which is quite a success in a comedy about transsexual prostitutes. 75 %
