It’s superficially less bleak than Tangerine, rendered by Baker in tropical colours, but poverty lurks throughout. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire What the Flick?! 09/26/2018

5/5
A work that combines boundless energy and childlike enthusiasm with dark social realism, Sean Baker's wildly inventive style of filmmaking has resulted in the gorgeous masterpiece that is The Florida Project. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 10/13/2024
5/5

Baker's vision for The Florida Project is brilliant in concept and even more vital in execution. The ending to this film is easily some of the best filmmaking of 2017. Go to Full Review Trevor Johnston Radio Times 07/09/2024
5/5
Its potent combination of empathy, observation and miraculously natural performances make this a modern classic, with strong echoes of Ken Loach's very best work. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
