Ed Potton Times (UK) It鈥檚 superficially less bleak than Tangerine, rendered by Baker in tropical colours, but poverty lurks throughout. Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Christy Lemire What the Flick?! I knew form the first shot that I was watching a truly great movie... It's so real, it's so raw. Rated: 9.6/10 •  Sep 26, 2018 Full Review

Audience Member They dint let me see the movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Ren W Those who underestimate The Florida Project either have never encountered the struggles of navigating poverty or fail to grasp the profound significance of its setting. The gritty, almost surreal world outside of the usual Disney fantasy is not accidental. The harsh poverty that Moonee and her friends face鈥攑aired with their carefree, almost innocent perception of the world鈥攊s deeply intentional. These children, while living in less-than-ideal conditions, remain blissfully unaware of the gravity of their situation. To them, it's all just another day of fun. The stark contrast between their world and the Disney dream, which is always just beyond their reach, is central to the film's message. While the film's conclusion is subject to interpretation, some suggest that the ending represents the children meeting a tragic fate鈥攑erhaps being hit by a car鈥攁nd entering their own form of "Heaven," embodied by Disney World. This is their ultimate escape, a place they could never afford in life but may finally reach in death, where innocence and fantasy merge. The film has an elusive, almost haunting artistic tone that is difficult to define鈥攔eminiscent of horror viewed through the eyes of a child. It's both innocent and dark, capturing a sense of fleeting, fragile childhood that echoes the same emotional weight found in The Virgin Suicides. The juxtaposition of lighthearted play with the looming presence of harsh reality is what makes The Florida Project so compelling and thought-provoking. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review
