A rocky lifestyle presented with delicate care, The Florida Project is as genuine as it is enlightening. Evoking feelings of nostalgia and sincerity, The Florida Project takes its time to display lives of poverty with the utmost humanity. The filmmaking is stripped down, using minimal music, cuts, and camera movement. This allows space for audiences to submerge into the community. Plus, although the techniques are subtle, there is plenty of skill involved. The cinematography is striking because the framing is purposeful and the colors are vibrant. The ambient sound design is realistically filled with impoverished chaos. The editing is hypnotic, steadily drawing viewers in with its methodical pace.
However, despite these strengths, the centerpiece of the experience is the acting. The script is illuminating but the performances elevate that immaculate material. The cast is a genius combination of seasoned veterans (Willem Dafoe) and authentic newcomers (Brooklynn Prince and Bria Vinaite), all of whom feel real enough to touch. This creates an intimate atmosphere that leaves a powerful impression. In the end, it is clear that Sean Baker had a passionate vision and an important story to tell, making The Florida Project a cinematic triumph and a meaningful experience.
