It’s superficially less bleak than Tangerine, rendered by Baker in tropical colours, but poverty lurks throughout. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire What the Flick?! 09/26/2018

I knew form the first shot that I was watching a truly great movie... It's so real, it's so raw. Go to Full Review Kambole Campbell One Room With A View 08/25/2018
5/5
A work that combines boundless energy and childlike enthusiasm with dark social realism, Sean Baker's wildly inventive style of filmmaking has resulted in the gorgeous masterpiece that is The Florida Project. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 10/13/2024
5/5
Baker’s brave and bracing film is far from a whimsical fable. It is a dramatic thumbnail depiction of a growing section of this nation’s culture that many may not want to admit exists, let alone condone. Go to Full Review JD Duran InSession Film 08/08/2024
Baker's vision for The Florida Project is brilliant in concept and even more vital in execution. The ending to this film is easily some of the best filmmaking of 2017. Go to Full Review Trevor Johnston Radio Times 07/09/2024
5/5
Its potent combination of empathy, observation and miraculously natural performances make this a modern classic, with strong echoes of Ken Loach's very best work. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

v T @RT58815968 Mar 31 tears. this is the first movie i’ve seen in years to make me cry. beautiful outlook on child adversity and extremely realistic view of what adults go through to survive. See more Black H @RT34154097 Mar 19 Ninety minutes of watching kids run wild while their mom spirals, and yeah, sure, empathy’s there—but who cares? The whole thing builds to nothing. No payoff, no closure—just a fade-out that leaves you wondering why you bothered. I wanted to see what happened.. DCF, whatever—give me the damn ending. Instead, it’s all vibes and no spine. Waste of time. One star. See more Daniel M @DanyBoy02 Feb 3 Renovador, comovente, e extremamente Verdadeiro! See more Rowan P. @X4leave Feb 1 Acting was done well, story was strong and realistic, The environment felt very much like Florida, and overall was just an amazing movie. See more Denise M. @Denise_onestop Jan 26 With the happiest place on earth, Disney World this movie was very good and touches your soul. Such poverty right down the street, really makes you think about things. See more Patrick S @PatrickStruik Jan 2 A heartbreaking Sean Baker. See more Read all reviews
