Critics Consensus

The Florida Project offers a colorfully empathetic look at an underrepresented part of the population that proves absorbing even as it raises sobering questions about modern America.

Ed Potton Times (UK) It’s superficially less bleak than Tangerine, rendered by Baker in tropical colours, but poverty lurks throughout. Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Christy Lemire What the Flick?! I knew form the first shot that I was watching a truly great movie... It's so real, it's so raw. Rated: 9.6/10 Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Kambole Campbell One Room With A View 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. Rated: 5/5 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Baker’s brave and bracing film is far from a whimsical fable. It is a dramatic thumbnail depiction of a growing section of this nation’s culture that many may not want to admit exists, let alone condone. Rated: 5/5 Oct 13, 2024 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film 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. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Trevor Johnston Radio Times 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. Rated: 5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

KOOKLA C This is entertaining but it's not really a movie. It's just watching little kids play all day in a hotel. Very sad. I did watch it mostly all but not worth the 2 hrs I lost. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Audience Member The best movie of the year. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review R W Being from Florida, this movie gets it. There's an underworld of poverty around Disney. This hits all the highlights of that part of town. Orange Blossom Trail, I-Drive, souvenir shops, seedy hotels. I don't know anything about the producers, writers and directors but I bet they're from that area. Spot on! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Dylan H Poverty and sadness in the most magical place on earth. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Kyle W A modern classic. A must-see for any cinema lover. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Mick V Florida Project, project refers to “The Projects” which is ghettos in America. Very cleverly done, a little deep if one looks into the tourist traps that Orlando is… can’t say more. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
