Why this pick
Sean Baker again channels scrappy, sun-blasted street energy, volatile comic encounters, and a protagonist hurtling through a vividly observed marginal community.
Why this pick
Its candy-coloured immediacy, nonjudgmental eye for precarious lives, and improvised-feeling neighbourhood texture echo Tangerine’s warmth beneath the chaos.
Why this pick
A single hectic day brings together working women, comic indignities, and genuine solidarity in an empathetic, loose-limbed ensemble comedy.
Why this pick
Baker’s earlier Los Angeles character study shares Tangerine’s candid intimacy and humane attention to people rarely granted complexity, though in a gentler register.
Why this pick
For Tangerine’s manic comic momentum and odd-couple chemistry, this absurdist misadventure offers a similarly fast, grubby, affectionate ride through bad decisions.
