Review of The Florida Project (2017) by Ruffington — 27 Oct 2017
"...BUT NOTHING HAPPENS!?" might be the dumbest possible critique of The Florida Project. This is a "slice of life" movie where it's just a bunch of moments, loosely tied together, but affording the viewer pretty intimate details of a life that is totally foreign to a lot of us.
Overall I thought this movie was really well done but not exactly something I'd want to watch more than once because some of it was pretty bleak. Know what you're watching; if you need a strong narrative arc or sympathetic characters or what have you, this might not be your kind of movie.
But I will say this about all of Sean Baker's movies: they tend to stick with me long after I've left the theater which is more than I can say for the vast majority of other movies.
