“The trailer and summary of this movie are absurdly misleading. They may make you think this is a beautiful movie about childhood and upbringing, just like Little Miss Sunshine, but it's definitely not like that.
Here, we have Halley, a terrible, irresponsible single mother who raises her 7-year-old daughter in the worst possible way in a motel in Florida. This woman says bad words in front of her daughter, feeds her with junk food all the time, doesn't teach anything useful or good.

Movies viewed in 2017 (338 movies items)"Despite a tough and often unpleasant collection of characters, this tale of a single mother and her 6-year-old living in a motel just outside Disney World is full of bright colours and hope. An uplifting tale despite the heaviness of the content, with terrific performances from all. Sean Baker's film might not be for everyone but those who stay the course will be truly satisfied."
October 2017 Horrorfest (45 movies items)"First viewing - Oct. 22nd My friend & I went to see The Florida Project, the latest film from Sean Baker. I really dug what he did with Tangerine, and from the trailers I knew I'd at least appreciate this film if not love it. Well, I appreciated it but didn't love it. The acting is excellent across the board, especially the performance from Brooklynn Prince who is so outstanding she deserves to earn best actress nominations if not the trophies to go with them. I'd like to see Willem Dafoe get s"
