Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets is an American documentary film by the Ross brothers that premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

Background

It was directed by Bill Ross IV and Turner Ross. It has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and critics wondered if it is a true documentary or partly fiction, perhaps as something that is a new genre, but regardless, generally praised the film. It is about a dive bar in Las Vegas named the Roaring 20s, though due to cost restraints it was actually filmed inside a bar in Terrytown, Louisiana. It includes a number of characters at the bar and tells vignettes about them. It runs for one hour and thirty-eight minutes.
