Review of The Florida Project (2017) by Brent_Marchant — 13 Oct 2017
While at times funny, touching and intensely absorbing, this look at life in an underrepresented segment of contemporary American society is ultimately unsatisfying and somewhat frustratingly episodic.
Beautifully filmed and well acted with a terrific production design, the film succeeds visually and emotionally, but its implausible conclusion and a number of other hard-to-swallow incidents undermine the overall production.
Director Sean Baker's latest evokes a number of strong heartfelt reactions, but, unfortunately, it always feels like it never quite knows where it wants to go -- or how to fulfillingly wrap things up.
