The Florida Project

It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.

• “While minimal on plot, the film digs in its nails on the day-to-day struggles of poor people in America.”

  Jordan Hoffman, The Guardian · 100

• “The infectious joy of a long childhood summer is brilliantly and boldly brought to life, unfolding, like Baker’s vital last film “Tangerine,” in a vivid present tense.”

  Jessica Kiang, The Playlist · 100

• “This is a near-perfect film, and a heightening in every way of everything that was great about Baker’s last movie.”

  Emily Yoshida, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 100

• “The Florida Project won’t let us look away. Nor, given its brilliance, would we want to. Instead, we laugh, we watch silently, and we’re challenged to stop simplifying people's lives so we can offer easy theoretical answers.”

  Alissa Wilkinson, Vox · 100

• “It’s that honesty that makes The Florida Project so powerful. This is a remarkable film, one of the best of the year.”
