Washed-up porn star Mikey Saber returns to his small Texas hometown where nobody really wants him back. Sean Baker capitalizes on the freedom of the small-budget film to explore characters and situations that challenge the audiences to step outside their comfort zone. This calls for empathy beyond likeability, acknowledging faults while not falling into shame traps. And it adds another perspective on sex work. (Sean Baker, 2021, USA, 2:10, R)
