An intimate, subtle and graceful story that still manages to effortlessly hit notes of epicness throughout. No preaching, no monologuing, just people moving through their complicated lives, leaving it to us to feel and think about what it means on a micro and macro level. It's pretty much unmissable.ntan
See it see it see it.The title comes from the working title for Walt Disney World Resort during its planning and construction. And that's where this story takes place. In the cheap rundown motels on the way to Disney's magical gates. It's a harsh portrait of a sector we don't see too often on film. Outstanding performances all around, and an ending that will make you angry and heartbroken at the same time.

Like his previous project, Tangerine, Sean Baker's The Florida Project feels like a documentary, in large part because the kids feel so real - he just lets them be themselves, I imagine, rather than follow scripted dialogue. The film ably acts as a nearly plotless slice of life snapshot set in an unusual ghetto, a set of colorful motels near (but not too near) Disneyland, where most of the residents are living week to week, whole families to each room. While their circumstances aren't ideal - poverty, negligent parents - the kids nevertheless have fun, use their imaginations, and due to lack of supervision, get up to a lot of trouble. Adult struggles - represented by Bria Vinaite's irresponsible single mother and Willem Dafoe's paternalistic motel manager - don't really make a big splash in their perceived reality. This is just how it is, and the film, shot in vibrant color, puts the lie to the idea that a harsh environment necessarily leads to misery. And yet, there's tension between the image and the audience, as we're forced to imagine just what kind of people these children are becoming. Living on the outskirts of a magical kingdom, it seems unlikely they could ever escape to it, the soundtrack to their lives forever a noisy highway.Kublai Khan
I know that exact place. It's in Kissimmee, Florida.samlowery
Can they give an Academy Award just for directing children? This film contains the most natural, unaffected performances I've ever seen from kids. They truly dance like no one is watching.dvdgrdnr
that mum character is one loathsome idiot.buc86
The kids in this were amazing, why didn’t they get any award nominations?gbpxl
My eyes were glued to the screen from start to finish. Ending wasn't edited the best thoughAgrimorfee
Best child acting in years. Comparisons to "The Little Rascals" are very apt. But that ending, I am still grappling with it.havrasador
this is the best film of 2017 in my heart (not counting The wandering soap opera)elcid
Form without content.BentBurritos
Those last two minutes ruined the film for me. But the first hour and 40 are absolutely worth it.catherinefrances
An amazing film, but a shitty ending!Guru_Meditation
I found this totally boring and a waste of my time. No development, Just a collection of unconnected incidents happening in people's lives, and as a movie just going nowhere.Showing items 1 – 15 of 16
