I'm honestly so happy that "The Florida Project" is someone else's favorite movie. I always show people it hoping they love it as much as I do. but sadly everyone finds it very boring. Red Rocket was fantastic and Sean Baker is an amazing director. Can't wait to see what he does next. I loved this review and everything you said about Mikey (Simon) was 100% correct. He was so unbearable as the film went on
Florida project is one of my favourite film. After saw that movie I saw nearly on the movies of that director.....But Red rocket movie I don't like it.....I don't know why. But the things are too open and erotic in the movie
I loved the Texas setting I don’t live in Texas but I live close and I understand those environments Maybe not the smoke stacks but the rest of it I understand
The refineries that dominate the Houston coastal landscape is what is keeping it from being the Miami Beach alternative. So ugly. On the other hand, San Antonio and South Padre are the best!
This film is a work of art. It takes you down the road of many cinema tropes, and then each time turns them on their heads. Following an unconventional protagonist who is essentially a sociopath, makes the film an anxiety inducing and uncomfortable watch, while simultaneously being shot in such a gorgeous way that it constantly soothes the abrasive material. It also dangles the promise of a hopeful future just far enough out of reach that even with the obvious collateral damage, there is still something to root for. These elements make for a pretty mesmerising watch with poignant political undertones set against a rugged and storied backdrop.
Definitely one of my most anticipated movies of the year. Love seeing comedic actors take more serious roles. Seeing Simon Rex getting all the praise from critics for his performance considering his past films really makes me appreciate how directors like Sean Baker or Paul Thomas Anderson (Adam Sandler in Punch-Drunk Love) are experimental in their lead actor choices as it can pay off greatly. I hope to see Simon Rex in more dramatic roles!
I found its opening stretch too langourously paced, but otherwise loved it. It's one of my favourite movies of the year. How much someone likes it, though, and it's the same thing with 2014's amazing Nightcrawler, depends on how willing a viewer is to follow the misadventures of a blatant sociopath who keeps escaping the consequences of bad karma. The difference here is that the main character is a very low functioning sociopath in relation to Nightcrawler's Lou Bloom. He's too dumb and short sighted to pull any grand crimes off. He's just a garden variety absolute asshole. He's very entertaining, though. Both Simon Rex and Susanna Son are wonderful in this.
Ugh... I hated this movie... It was disgusting. This narcissistic bastard's grooming of a headachingly stupid teenage girl was just... Not done properly. It's almost as if he was painted as the victim in the end, and the girl was just a prop along the way. While watching this abomination of a film I had the urge to walk out of the theatre. And you know what? I should have listened to that urge. I wouldn't recommend watching this, but if you do plan to, read some reviews and do some research on the plot beforehand.
@@randomname697 So do you only watch movies about people who have no flaws? Art deals with reality; people have flaws. Get over it ffs. You're not condoning what the characters do by watching this film. Film is beautiful in the sense that, like all art, it allows us to try and understand all aspects of life, even the most disgusting (your words) and unpleasant, without condoning or accepting it and without participating in it. There are people who do these sorts of things. Maybe try and understand why people do these 'disgusting' things and use that knowledge to make the world a better place. Or you could just close your eyes and mind and pretend it's not there. Not everyone can be a world changer though. It takes a fierceness and real courage. Not sure you have what it takes. Or do you?
@@maryvallettakeith6146 Thanks for this, I genuinely needed this kind of enlightenment because I'm very confused about how to react when sensitive stuffs like that are shown in the movies. I kept thinking about it, but I feel like I'm starting to understand it now
Glad to see Sean Baker coming back now! I find it interesting that in The Florida Project he casts an Instagram model and now in Red Rocket he hires an ex pornstar.
Simon Rex has already had a long established acting career already. He only did soft core porn of him only masturabting anyways for an extra buck and only did it for like a year way back in 1993. He was already since been known for the scary movie franchise and the sitcom what I liked about you that started Amanda Byrnes
Simon Rex was never a porn star. He jacked off in front of the camera for a couple films but it’s not like he was known for that, he was known as a model and an MTV VJ, and he was huge in the 90s.
Yeah, it would be Fun if you do a video reflecting and ranking The best contenders to an Oscar nom or win. Only by the films from the Cannes! 👍🏼 And go trough each category: 1. Film 2. Director......etc.
Well now he’s getting Oscar praise & Covers/features on the big mags.. Crazy how fast a persons life/career changes wen the elite decide to bless sum1 and give them their due
I really like the way the Protagonist uses his Big D Energy and acomplished skillset to lift up and improve the lives of all the female characters only to be once again targeted by thier jealousy and destroyed by thier Female dominated little dystopian society. It should be used as a Warning of what Woke Politics will surely bring more of in the future!! Excellent film!!
I didn’t like this movie very much. All the characters are unlikable losers lol. Rex is the best character in the movie and is kind of likable until you get near the end. Then you are mostly disgusted by him. The movie isn’t funny either despite what these reviews say. Its just kind of dark and gross. Worthy of one watch only.
Super hyped for this next film from him. I’m ready to go. Other question, where did you get those background poster frames? Did you make them yourself? They’re quite awesome!
It's a great portrait of a narcissistic personality disorder; a user who will never learn his lesson. Well done.
June was my favorite character. She saw right through his bullshit the whole time
i genuinely loved this movie so much, maybe my favorite of 2021

Oscar chances are small? What's the competition? What color is their rocket?
The refineries that dominate the Houston coastal landscape is what is keeping it from being the Miami Beach alternative. So ugly. On the other hand, San Antonio and South Padre are the best!
the rocket had me at "suitcase",.,.lol
Is that a green screen?
yes
@@TheOscarExpert contender for Best Visual Effects
No, That's Actually Texas City
Simon Rex being the lead in an Oscar buzzy movie is the shot in the arm 2021 needed

I've met someone like him. It does portray the mess up of lower income America.
Hhmm, I thought the Florida project was 20 minutes too long!
Naw fam
For what it's worth those are oil refineries not factories
Is this a green screen?
Simon Rex just won Best Actor from the LA Film Critics. Oscar nom next?
Could u do an acting predictions video for the upcoming oscars / any films from Cannes that could compete?
I think we will just do a full predictions video once I'm done with Cannes content.
@@TheOscarExpert ah great I’m excited for that video. Huge huge fan keep doing what ur doing much love from the UK

The grooming in this movie was WILD
What do you mean?
His scenes with Strawberry made me cringe but that’s the point lol

Dude he did 2 films over 20 years ago to pay rent! He was on Felicity for crying out loud! Also, Bria was not an Instagram model!
Can you do a video on acting predictions for next Oscar’s plsss and if anything at Cannes could be a contender? :)

one of my alltime fave films.....dang fun!!!!
Very well said. Will you do a Spoiler Review?

Excellent film!!
The ending was a bit odd. I think it could have had a better ending.
I'm looking forward to seeing this👍
I’m guessing you aren’t aware that Simon Rex is a very successful & hilarious hip hop artist (rapper) called Dirt Nasty.
I think Simom Rex would be the next Adam Sandler of Uncut Gems. He’ll probably be nominated for a few awards but not an Oscar.
Review vortex
You're too much of a goober to be critiquing this movie, the humor of this movie is way over your head.
Now im gonna c all sean baker movies
His Tangerine was brilliant as well.
“Hulking industrial factories”
LOL… refineries.
This movie was God awful. The setting, Plot, and ending were just... bad lol
I didn’t like this movie very much. All the characters are unlikable losers lol. Rex is the best character in the movie and is kind of likable until you get near the end. Then you are mostly disgusted by him. The movie isn’t funny either despite what these reviews say. Its just kind of dark and gross. Worthy of one watch only.
