Review of The Florida Project (2017) by Drlowdon — 22 Mar 2018
The Florida Project is a snap shot into the lives of the residents of the "Magic Castle", a Florida motel located close to Disney World, focusing specifically on six year old Moonee, her mother and the overworked hotel manager Bobby.
The Florida Project forgoes conventional story telling techniques in favour of an almost documentary style of film-making that is content to simply offer a glimpse as to what life is like for people living in poverty and struggling day to day just to keep a roof over their head. The cast is what really helps to make this movie a success however. Willem Dafoe is excellent as always but it is Brooklyn Prince as Moonee that really steals the show in what is essentially the lead role. It's not a conventional movie but it's well worth watching.
