Baton Rouge

About This Movie

Baton Rouge presents a gritty dive into the murky world of deceit and desire. The film weaves crime, mystery, and a touch of romance, all wrapped in a somewhat noir-ish atmosphere. The pacing has its ups and downs, but it adds to the underlying tension. The poor gigolo's attempts to outsmart his rich mistress unfold with an almost tragic absurdity, making you question the motivations of everyone involved. Performances feel raw and unfiltered, which suits the film’s overall vibe. It’s not overly flashy with practical effects, but there’s a certain charm in its simplicity. What makes it distinctive is how it balances these elements – it’s a character-driven piece that doesn't shy away from the darker shades of human emotion.
