5. Tangerine (United States, 2015)
You may know the filmmaker Sean Baker from his beautiful film The Florida Project, but his first foray, Tangerine, was a feature shot on an iPhone that follows a transgender sex worker who learns that her boyfriend, a pimp, has been cheating on her. Filled with beautiful writing and shots that seem almost too gorgeous to be composed on an iPhone, this film will give you all the Christmas feels and maybe some tears to go with it.
