Review of The Florida Project (2017) by Netflic — 15 Oct 2017
This is an excellent movie by young and talented director Sean Baker.
I loved his previous movie Tangerine. Similarly to Tangerine, this movie is about people who live in the underbelly of our society. Gruesome realism sprinkled with dark humor and occasional sympathy.
Two of the film's protagonists, a 6-year-old Mooney and her good-for-nothing single mom Halley live in a seedy motel not far from Disneyworld, Florida.
Being extremely curious and mischievous, Mooney and her friends run around and create chaos for both management and occupants. Utterly unfit parents love their kids but spoil them in so many ways. .
It is difficult to make a movie where kids behave naturally. Not a problem for Sean Baker.
Young actress Brooklynn Prince who plays Mooney definitely deserves Oscar.
I should also mention excellent casting and very impressive visuals.
