"Tangerine has generated interest partly because it was made using iPhones augmented by other devices. But technology can only take a film so far--it's the story that really matters." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Baker gets great, sly, unforced performances from his two leads, but it's not all a rollicking good time: there are moments of quietude, inquietude, moments when a sense of wariness and loneliness settles over the women." - Philadelphia Inquirer

"Rodriquez and Taylor are terrific. Their confidence is infectious, yet they never let us forget the challenges their lives offer. - Arizona Republic

After hearing that her boyfriend/pimp cheated on her while she was in jail, a transgender sex worker and her best friend set out to find him and teach him and his new lover a lesson.
