Says Stella: I recently watched The Florida Project, and it was one of the best films I’ve seen in years. The movie features a loose narrative structure that follows the life of a fearless (and hilarious) six-year-old and her group of friends around a budget motel just down the road from Disney World. It offers an empathetic view of poverty without sugarcoating it. “There’s no romanticism of these lives, and yet there’s never a sense of drudgery either,” wrote Brian Tallerico for Roger Ebert. “It’s a breathtaking balance of the two that really makes the movie work, and it culminates in a final scene of striking beauty — the kind that you don’t soon forget.” Highly recommend.
