Red Rocket

"Despite its missteps, this is Baker's best-directed film..."

"(A) deliriously funny and deviously satirical new comedy..."

"It’s funny and abrasive, but also coy and, in the end, a bit tedious."

"There are some truly riotous moments, and as a character study... this is fascinating stuff."

"A blisteringly raw and febrile character study..."

"A self-indulgent regional satire that stretches its perhaps-80-minute plot over more than two hours..."

"Affectionate, slyly humorous character observations and immersive sense of place."

"The director's singular gift for street casting... and deeply embedded sense of mood works its own kind of slow-rolling alchemy."

"Red Rocket isn’t the warmest of Baker’s films; it has a flinty edge that makes it hard to embrace."

"Mr. Rex gives a 100% phenomenal performance..."
