A darkly funny, raw, and humane portrait of Mikey Saber, a uniquely 'American' hustler, and his hometown that barely tolerates him.
Mikey’s a man-child, and…an ex-porn star. He is constantly sugarcoating things for his own mental state because he can’t really face the negative place he's in. It’s literally the only way he can cope, and everything is always somebody else’s fault.
Flat broke and scheming, Mikey heads back home to Texas, hoping to move back in with his estranged wife and mother-in-law. They shouldn’t let him in, but they do….
This audacious new film from writer-director Sean Baker (The Florida Project, Tangerine) contains a magnetic, live-wire performance by Simon Rex.
Reviews
“An exhilarating realm of dark comedy, stylistic ambition, and pure off-the-grid adventurousness.” Gregory Mann, UK film review
“Only Baker could somehow make a Pilgrim’s Progress about a loser with a giant penis into a slightly goofy, cracked celebration of life on the fringes.” Rolling Stone.
