Tangerine's 1080p Blu-ray presentation impresses with sharp, vivid detail, excellent color balance, and minimal grain despite being shot on iPhone 5s. Expert post-production delivers hyper-realistic imagery, though minor artifacts are occasionally visible in low-light scenes.

Audio: 67

Tangerine's lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix captures a realistic on-the-go production with ambient noises and a diverse musical soundtrack, including live-recorded sounds and performances. Although dialogue can be slurred due to non-professional actors, the audio remains clear with excellent subtitle options, no distortions, and impressive LFE and dynamic range.

Extra: 61

The Blu-ray extras for "Tangerine" offer an engaging and comprehensive behind-the-scenes look, featuring in-depth interviews with the cast and crew, a visual style test showcasing initial footage, and insights into the film's production and character development, all delivered in high definition.

Movie: 71

"Tangerine," shot with three iPhone 5s and enhanced in post-production, offers a vivid, semi-documentary portrayal of transsexual sex workers in Hollywood on Christmas Eve, blending humor, raw drama, and heartfelt performances. The Blu-ray features a 25GB disc without extras or digital download code.
