Red Rocket at Lumiere Cinemas

Red Rocket

130 mins | Rated R16 (Drug use, offensive language & explicit sexual material)

Directed by Sean Baker

Starring Chadwick Boseman, Jude Hill, Suzanna Son, Bree Elrod, Brenda Deiss, Ethan Darbone


Texas City in Galveston County, Texas, in the summer of 2016. Mikey Saber (Simon Rex)—or Mike Davies, as he’d rather not be called—lopes off a greyhound bus into the broiling heat, covered in facial bruises, his possessions only a stale, dirt-caked sports bag thrown over his shoulder. This is no triumphant Odyssean homecoming, a prodigal son welcomed into the bosom of redemption. He is trouble: all devilishly good-looking male-model cheekbones and taut physique, whose real desire to please induces nothing but suffering to others and himself. This is his latest rodeo....

A stunning follow up from Sean Baker
(Tangerine and The Florida Project) is another lo-fi comedy about lives at the margin of US society...

“It’s a neverending fracas punctuated with cotton candy sunsets over ominous smokestacks.” Irish Times

"Baker’s films are unconventional and distinctive, uninterested in passing moral judgments. They invite us to get granular with the kinds of people we don’t see very often, regardless of whether they are likable or not. In “Rocket,” Baker he pays attention to how the stark environment — the town’s refinery, struggling businesses and ramshackle houses that need paint — shape his character. As Mikey, Rex is phenomenal. It’s a raw performance that will be remembered for years to come." Mercury News
