Terrible movie! It dragged on and on, just getting worse, dragging the viewer down a black hole with it - selfish unfit mother, her suck-y choices and unraveling life, and her brat kid running rogue, headed for the same life and bad choices. Good acting and cinematography, but dialogue and so-called plot was a dismal waste of time! Dafoe (and the scene with the cranes) was a redeeming element - and the end scene with the girls. Oh well!

Really loved how engaging the film is from the very start to the end. As a viewer, you are pulled to closely experience the lives of motel residents who are trying to survive week-by-week, all through the eyes of little young Moonee. If you liked THE FLORIDA PROJECT, you may also like the director's shot-all-on-iPhones 2015 feature, TANGERINE.
Read lessThis movie was a masterpiece in the making and then the last five minutes happened. Coulda been a Moonlight. Que lastima.
Terrible movie! It's established very early on that the mother is troubled but then nothing of value happens until the last 10 minutes of the film. Waste of time.
Good
Same ending as The 400 Blows. However, this film was great to watch.
Horrible!
The incidental scene when Dafoe's character talks to cranes in the motel's reception drive is priceless. On previous comments about mother's fitness: not only are they arguably wrong - the movie is about the kids' choices re: freedom and gaps in oversight. It's a brilliant film. Dafoe is ...Read more
The incidental scene when Dafoe's character talks to cranes in the motel's reception drive is priceless. On previous comments about mother's fitness: not only are they arguably wrong - the movie is about the kids' choices re: freedom and gaps in oversight. It's a brilliant film. Dafoe is excellent, too.
Read lessRemarkable, naturalistic performances from the kids. Wonderful cinematography.
Further evidence that prospective parents need to obtain a license before they are allowed to procreate.
so everyone who isn't fit should wear chastity belts?
Good idea!
This replaces Magic Mike as the most Florida movie ever.
This is an amazing story and unfortunately a sad commentary on the failure of society, the welfare system, and educational system that allows this behavior to continue.
The unfit mother and her little brat daughter are perfect. A surprisingly good movie.
