MrDHWong The Florida Project is a drama film starring Willem Dafoe. Directed and co-written by Sean Baker (Tangerine), it a raw and unrelenting look into a side of American culture many try to ignore but at the same time cannot look away from.In the city of Kissimmee, Florida, six-year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) lives with her anarchic young mother Halley (Bria Vinaite) in a run-down motel. To pass the time during Summer break, Moonee spends her days with other motel resident kids, causing mischief, conning tourists out of money, and getting on the nerves of the motel's manager Bobby (Willem Dafoe).The film makes no attempts at sugarcoating its depiction of lower-class civilian life in America. As unsympathetic as many of the characters are, they all seem like realistic people most will have encountered at some point and director Sean Baker chooses a more down-to-earth approach at showing their lifestyles rather than the usual Hollywood-manufactured sentiment. All of the young child actors were fantastic and gave convincing performances. However, it is Willem Dafoe who shines the most as the serious but well-intentioned motel manager Bobby as he tries to help his guests deal with any outbreak of chaos. This is not an easy film for a casual viewer to sit through, but if one can stomach some of the more extreme moments, then I suggest seeing it at least once.I rate it 7/10

ilikeimdb Impressive acting...and the only person who looked like they were acting was Willem Dafoe (who still acquitted himself well). I found the camera work mesmerizing and Brooklynn Prince's acting totally stunning (she's the heart of this movie, perhaps in counterpoint to her mother, convincingly played by Bria Vinaite). The director carefully crafted each scene but without the expected histrionics. It's a sweet and innocent story set in a cultural garbage dump. The ending seemed a bit too simplistic...I'd have like to see a bit more resolution even though you know exactly how things are going to turn out. If this movie doesn't make a strong case for fully funding Planned Parenthood then nothing ever ever will.

werdnaoslek Yeah this movie could have been Oscar worthy if it weren't for that terribly executed, irredeemably bad ending. I get the premise of it but I refuse to believe that there couldn't have been a better way to do it. I was loving everything else up until the last 60 seconds, which was seriously one of the most unsatisfying endings to any film that came out in 2017. It's such a shame.
