Review of The Florida Project (2017) by Matt G — 25 Mar 2018
"Ya know why this is my favorite tree? Because it's tipped over & it's still growing." Sean Baker makes movies about forgotten people, & he never treats them like anomalies or aliens, but like humans.
The dialogue & characters are impossibly perfect: the humor, authentic use of profanity, childlike insights, Dafoe's God-like humanity. He shoots a low-rate hotel on the outskirts of Orlando as beautifully as anything in "Phantom Thread".
And that ending. Holy cow. An endless stream of eye-water.
