After watching director Sean Baker's 2017 white trash epic "The Florida Project", I've been wanting to see more of this man's grounded realist sleaze films, and Hulu provided his prior directorial effort, much to my enjoyment.

This film is named so because it's set in Hollywood on and around Sunset Boulevard, and the color scheme of this shot-on-iPhone movie has a strong orange hue to it. Right away, you're introduced to your main characters, which are two transgender black women, in which Alexandra tells Sin-Dee that her pimp boyfriend is cheating on her. Sin-Dee just got out of a short stint in prison for prostitution and this news really pisses her off. She sets out on a mission to find her pimp Chester and the woman he was seeing... starts with a D? Daniella, Desiree, whatever... Who gives a fuck. She'll find her, and she's pissed. But what will she do? Watch the movie and find out just what she does, if anything.

There are a lot of black transgenders in this movie. I find them all rather amusing though, and there's a subplot involving prostitution with one of the guys from 'Chuck' that's pretty interesting. But also in this movie is an Armenian taxi driver who we quickly find out has a thing for these black trans hookers despite having a family of his own (and a hot wife no less).

We have bit parts by the great Clu Gulager and his son John, that dimwitted "Buy More" employee from Chuck, and most enjoyably, James Ransone as Chester the pimp. He's not in much and only comes in toward the end, but this guy steals the show. He fucking nails it, and that whole bickering ending had me in stitches.

This is a strangely endearing movie about LGBT trash in the hooking scene, but it's sleazy and funny and dramatic all at the same time. Another win for Sean Baker.
