This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Some people say "best movie." What? It was so bad. The acting was terrible, the writing was terrible and yes it looked like a iPhone. Not in a good way.I turned it off after 20 minutes, and that was me being extremely patient. I live in that area so I know the corner very well and yes that's the crowd that hangs out there, but it was like the filmmakers didn't get it and the lengthy nonsensical dialogue was uninteresting.I was gonna give it one star which it deserves, but just for the effort of the different subject matter and in general the long hard work you put into making a film I give it two stars.
It's immediately clear this movie doesn't fit into conventional movie genres. The way it's shot can only be described as almost fly on the wall with a touch of voyeurism. Using iPhones to shoot this really allowed for the camera float around the scenes and it always felt like it was following the action not creating it. Despite the run and gun shooting style there is still a fluidity to the how everything is shot and it didn't resort to shaky cameras to make things seem exciting.There's isn't much to the story but it still balanced the characters well and it didn't have any boring parts. The performances are overall a bit mixed in quality. There was a bit of contrast where the 2 lead women are on their own and you can tell they're not as experienced actors as the rest of the cast. But it didn't ruin movie for me it just gave it a bit more of an amateurish feel.It's worth checking out and shooting a movie this way is a really interesting viewing experience that felt more real and similar in style to the movie 'Kids'.
Just one day event based theme and brilliantly made film. This film was made using iPhone 5s and this is not some film school project. The quality was really top notch, with great performances by all who involved in. I have never seen such perfectly rendered transgender story. I mean no offense, but it looked so real. Hats off to the director, writer and the actors.Last year, there were some talks about this film's chances at the Oscars, but in the end it did not make. So after that I kind of lost interest in it, but now I had an opportunity to watch and I liked it very much. How a simple story and its simple characters developed were the highlights. You can't predict this stuff, because you won't know what comes after the each twist.Most of the film takes place on the evening time, so that colour of the sky is what the title represents. I don't think anybody would dislike this film. It was slow, but short and sweet. One of the best films from the 2015. You much choose this to watch for its uniqueness in the filmmaking and the storytelling. In addition to that, it also entertains, so there's your reason to go for it.7/10
Transvestite hooker Sin-Dee Rella gets out of jail. Her friend fellow sex worker Alexandra reveals that her pimp boyfriend Chester has another girl. She goes off looking for Chester and his whore Dinah. Razmik is a cabbie looking for sex with a tranny. He's missing dinner with his conservative Armenian family. When he hears that Sin-Dee is back, he starts looking for her.This is technically superior when considering its low budget production. Sin-Dee's fierce walks with the pumping music is terrific. Her dragging Dinah around has a tense fun. Razmik getting a girl instead of a tranny is hilarious to me. There is plenty to applaud but I don't find the epic quest to find her boyfriend that compelling. There is a limited amount of tension. It feels like Sin-Dee strutting down the road. It looks more fierce than what's actually happening. There are some good work and I hoped for more compelling writing.
