#SIMON REX VILLAGE VOICE MOVIE#

If nothing else, he can annoy others until they relent out of a simple wish to have peace and quiet. It's a miracle he convinces her to let him shack up on her sofa for a while, though we soon find out Mikey's got a knack for convincing people to act against their interests. Namely, that's where Lexi's at, his wife and former porn star who's not happy to see her husband back, not at all. The escape path took him from Hollywood to Texas, his small hometown where some acquaintances still live. His career in the adult film industry has lost steam as he fell into middle age and fresh bruises littered over his body illustrate all the trouble he's currently running away from. Mikey Saber is out of luck when we first meet him. His take on one of the year's most loathsome characters is Oscar-worthy… While the man's turn as a washed-up porn star could have been nothing more than stunt casting, Rex transcends such pitfalls.

Now that Sean Baker's latest movie is hitting theaters, maybe the actor can get his moment in the sun. Indeed, Rex seems to have been forgotten by awards voters as the season progresses, even though reviews still sing his praises. Perhaps more accurately, Simon Rex has been described as one of those cases where a performance should be in contention even if their chances are null. Ever since the project premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, Red Rocket's leading man has been praised by critics and spotlighted as a potential Best Actor contender.
