One of the year’s most critically acclaimed films, Sean Baker’s (Tangerine) The Florida Project chronicles a single formative summer in the lives of precocious six-year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) and her rebellious young mother Halley (Bria Vinaite), who live week-to-week in a pastel purple budget motel called “The Magic Castle.” Watched over by gruff but compassionate motel manager, Bobby (Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor nominee, Willem Dafoe), Halley ekes out a living on the fringes of Disney World’s tourist economy, while Moonee and her friends roam the neighborhood in search of adventure and free ice cream. Featuring astounding, breakout performances from Prince and Vinaite, The Florida Project is an enchanting, heartbreaking, visually stunning neorealist ode to childhood that deserves to sit alongside The 400 Blows and The Bicycle Thieves. As the New York Times‘ A.O. Scott writes: “This movie accomplishes something almost miraculous — two things, actually. It casts a spell and tells the truth.”
Director Sean Baker | 2017 | In English | 111 minutes | R (for language throughout, disturbing behavior, sexual references and some drug material) | DCP
