Media-wise viewers and viewers with ANY modicum of taste will want to avoid TANGERINE. It glorifies and elevates sexual immorality as an acceptable, moral, positive lifestyle. It contains not only homosexuality and transgenderism, but also adultery, prostitution and revenge. TANGERINE also contains abundant foul language and some graphic, explicit lewd content. ![]() The transgender protagonist is presented and portrayed as a courageous and heroic figure, someone who should be honored. ![]() TANGERINE also promotes a Romantic, Anti-Christian, immoral, homosexual worldview.

With the help of the film's producers, the film managed to create history by becoming the first ever film to have an Oscar campaign for transgender actors.

All it took was a device that fit right inside your pocket. The results were impressive as it was able to tell a competent story while also proving that literally anyone could do. It was the first feature length film to ever be shot entirely on an iPhone. ![]() Not only was it a funny little comedy set in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve, but it was a film with a novelty.
