Review of The Florida Project (2017) by Mary T — 27 Oct 2017
This is a movie that can be best described as bittersweet. The sweet part shows the complete happiness only a kid can know, no matter what their reality. It transports us back to the joy we felt from simple things.
...a dripping ice cream cone, the buzz of a fan, skipping with friends. The bitter part is the reality. In this movie, we remember this joy as we watch the main character, a 6 year old girl, while reality churns around her, in the form of a difficult home life and a dangerous environment.
In the end of the movie she comes face to face with her reality and it makes us ache to know that the innocent joy of childhood ends for all of us, sooner for some than for others, and a wish to have it back, even if just for a moment.
