Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Director Sean Baker (The Florida Project, Anora) has a real gift for bringing rich texture and intimate detail to his subject matters. He triumphs once again with this raw and hilariously vulgar look at life on the Hollywood mean streets for two Black transgender hookers on Christmas Eve. Kiki Kitana Rodriguez is searching for her cheating pimp boyfriend after a stint in jail. Best friend Mya Taylor, while sympathetic to her misguided pain, is more interested in touting her cabaret appearance at a local bar. And then there's the married Armenian taxi driver unfortunately caught up in their high camp, bitch-slapping crossfire. Shot entirely on three iPhones giving a high-voltage veracity to the confrontational drama, and often resembling a crazed reality show, this big-hearted odyssey through a murky subculture is sometimes shocking, unexpectedly charming and ultimately rather moving.Fabulous, fearless and funny, this is an alternative Christmas fairy tale with attitude and highlights.
