Synopsis

Mikey Saber, played by Simon Rex, is a retired porn actor, gone to pieces who, after passing through the industry, feel that his time has already flown. Old-fashioned, Saber has gone from being an Angels star to being back in the small Texas town that was once home. However, Mikey Saber is no longer what he was and, between prejudice and the time that has gone, no one misses him anymore in town. After 'The Florida Project', Sean Baker brings us 'Red Rocket', a human and acid portrait that goes into the (humorous) tragedy of a disgraced actor. The film stars Simon Rex, Bree Elrod, Suzanna Son, Ethan Darbone, Judy Hill and Shih-Ching Tsou.

9.1 IndiewireDavid Ehrlich Red Rocket is so arresting because of how it keeps hope alive by rescuing devastation from the jaws of happiness. Read
8.0 The Hollywood ReporterDavid Rooney It?s a pleasure to put yourself in Baker?s capable hands as he ambles through his loose story with its affectionate, slyly humorous character observations and immersive sense of place. Read
5.0 VarietyPeter Debruge Everything in Red Rocket happens just a little too easily, which is one of the weaknesses of a self-indulgent regional satire that stretches its perhaps-80-minute plot over more than two hours. Read
