Well made slice of life story. Can be annoying at times - persistently
unruly children, terrible music and lots of "grownups" abusing each other
for our entertainment - but there is some good acting in places. Being
American, it apologises for its 90% offensiveness with 10% sentimentality
at the end: a 6 yr old child goes crying to a girl she was spitting on for
fun earlier. Aww. The Florida Project was the working title for Disney
World. Perhaps the sequel to this will be Bobby Peru VS the Little Rascals.
No subtitles. 3 day rental.

Kool & The Gang - Celebration. Opening scene from the movie as pointed out by other reviews. Not highlighted, however, is the town of Celebration is very adjacent, Rick Foglesong, a Disney watcher of long standing at Rollins College in Florida, calls it "the Vatican with mouse ears". It has been said that "Disney invented Celebration as an ideal American small town. But recession, a brutal murder and a suicide have killed the magic" There is magic in this film but its not from Disney. It's not the first time the "idyllic American Dream town theme" familiar to many other movies that are not only far less specific they lack the understanding, empathy, clarity, and emotional depth that this movie supplies.

No real story line, just a movie about a skanky mother and her brat
child... The ending didn't tell you anything about what was going on, or
what was going to happen... 💩💩💩
