Review of The Florida Project (2017) by Jesus C — 21 Oct 2017
The Florida Project follows one summer of a few children living in a slum hotel.
The cast were fantastic, especially William Defoe and the young actress as Moony, but there was one moment that the actress as Moony had to pull of a very emotional scene but she started having trouble presenting anger. Luckily the scene after this is her best moment and makes me excited for her acting career in the future.
The best thing about this film is the cinematography and color palette. The beautiful cinematography and the mix of a color popping environment makes the child-like wonder come off the screen.
The best aspect of the writing was the characters. I found each main characters likable in someway, and this kept me emotional invested throughout the whole film.
There were a few scenes that tried to establish character development but were already established so they seemed repetitive and pointless, and the ending had a sense of rush. I understand what the director was going for, but the rushing made the ending feel like an advertisement.
The Florida Project is a great emotional ride of the innocence of childhood.
8/10.
