The Florida Project. Latest in a long line of the "unflinching gaze on America's poor" genre (see also Vernon, Florida; Kids; Gummo; George Washington; American Honey).

Everything is super visceral despite mostly static camera work. Performances are excellent, though i wonder how many are even professional actors? My only problem with Dafoe's character is that no way would a guy that nice work that job in real life.

The twist ending was fine. Not the brilliant stroke other reviewers had made it out to be, but it was novel and effective.

Do they still make Dogma 95 films? This likely could have qualified.

Agreed with LV's thoughts on Gladiator and Burt's opinion on twirling moustaches.

Tully. I liked it. Charlize Theron doesn't get enough credit.

:?: Isn't she, like, an Oscar-winning A-list actress who likely commands upwards of $10M/film?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Ever since she got ugly and played a prostitute/murderer she's been considered one of the bestest.

I really liked TFP, im a big big fan of Sean´s work. Those kids were not professionals, and the girl´s mother was a instagram celebrity...so, very impressive.

Dont agree with the Dafoe view..why not? I know wonderful people working in shitty places.....as for the ending i thought it was a letdown. He chooses to go full fairy tale just when i needed to see the real ending. Still, great movie.

This is on my watch list. I'll try to convince the wife.

I guess you're right, there are good people doing shitty jobs...But still, his kindness felt a little too big for his station in life. Don't get me wrong, Dafoe played the part terrifically; I would just expect to see a few more warts on that sort of person in real life.

I dug the ending.

Spoiler: show
Not amazing, but I thought it was an effective resolution given their seeming proximity, yet obvious inaccessibility, to the nearby Disneyworld; obviously there's no way their lives turned out great. It sort of reminded me of how at the end of No Country For Old Men, Tommy Lee Jones's brother suggests it's "vanity" to expect an inherently sad story to somehow have a happy ending.

This would explain my only other gripe with the film: The annunciation and audio were both pitiful. We had to watch with the closed-captioning on! Given that they weren't professional actors, I'll fault the director for not taking a more rigorous approach in post. I get that all their mumbling and talking over each other added to the realism, but at a certain point I need to be able to understand what they're actually saying.

I guess I won't be watching this, then. Wife will not like this.

My main concern was that i watched an entire film with the ¨real ¨life of these kids, and just in the end for some reason he chooses to go all fairy mental with us. I needed to see the real stuff..so the kid realized he was going to be far way? show me what happens in the ¨real¨world. Not that weird photograph montage of Disney
