The Florida Project
Directed by Sean Baker1h 52m2017
The story of a precocious six year-old and her ragtag group of friends whose summer break is filled with childhood wonder, possibility and a sense of adventure while the adults around them struggle with hard times.
Our read: The Florida Project (2017) reads as a warm, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Warm, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
