The Florida Project is a drama set in the shadow of Disney World, and follows a young girl living in poverty, and how she spends her summer.
The film doesn't have a conventional narrative, but is still engaging in the story that it tells. As it is told from a child's perspective, we mostly see the fun that she finds in the motels and surrounding areas. All of the darkness is happening just off screen, enough so that we can understand the situation that the girl and her mother are in.
The main actors all give really good performances. This is not surprising from Willem Dafoe, but is from the people who play Moonee and Halley, one being a child and the other an instagram model.
In short: An important look at those who live in poverty in Florida.
