Editor’s note: A quick note about Red Rocket (2021): This film skillfully combines elements of Drama and Comedy, placing a strong emphasis on mood rather than flashy visuals. Directed by Sean Baker, it prioritizes character development over superficial spectacle. The performances, particularly by Simon Rex, Suzanna Son, and Bree Elrod, add significant emotional depth to the narrative. With a runtime of 2 hours and 10 minutes, it fits the material well. While not without its flaws, the film’s strengths make it worth watching. Its tagline—“Everything’s bigger in Texas.”—captures the essence of the film perfectly. If this story resonates with you, be sure to add it to your watchlist.
