Trans sex workers (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor) set out across yuletide Los Angeles on the hunt for Rodriguez’ character’s cheating boyfriend and pimp. There aren’t a ton of queer holiday movies (unless Meet Me in St. Louis counts), and Tangerine compellingly explores a holiday on the margins. It’s set in sunny LA, so the festive trappings are muted—and for the leads, “family” would hardly mean group photos in cozy sweaters anyway—but it’s Christmas all the same. A haunting, gorgeous rendition of “Toyland” seals the deal.
Will it become your next holiday classic? This could be your queer Die Hard, no question.
