Sad. A great performance by Simon Rex.

Movie Reviews
“Utterly singular and weirdly lovable (…) Baker ditches the corporate utopia of Disney World in favor of a more rustic vision of the American Dream” David Ehrlich: IndieWire
“Building off the scrappy beauty of Tangerine and The Florida Project, director Sean Baker again trains his sights on a vivid milieu and a fascinatingly singular character (…) Keeps the audience glued to the screen” Tim Grierson: Screendaily
