Led by Simon Rex's magnetic performance, Red Rocket is another vibrant, ground-level look at modern American life from director/co-writer Sean Baker.

Arriving in his Texas hometown barely dressed, badly bruised and all but penniless, washed-up porn star Mikey Saber (Simon Rex) talks his way into his estranged wife’s bed, starts peddling weed, and schemes to turn Svengali to teenaged Strawberry (Suzanna Son) so that he can liberate her from a donut shop and rocket her to stardom. As we ride shotgun on Mikey's breathless, amoral odyssey, Sean Baker (The Florida Project) crafts another luminous, seriocomic fable concerning America’s underclass. - Vancouver International Film Festival

Recommended ages 16+ Pervasive Language, Graphic Nudity, Drug Use, Strong Sexual Content

"A movie that is outrageously fun, savagely smart, brightly satirical, and ultimately haunting." - Kristy Puchko, Mashable
