It’s superficially less bleak than Tangerine, rendered by Baker in tropical colours, but poverty lurks throughout.

I knew form the first shot that I was watching a truly great movie... It's so real, it's so raw.

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.

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.
