The Florida Project

Moonee spends the summer in a motel the color of a candy wrapper, a few miles from the park she cannot afford. Baker shoots the week as a run of dares: ice cream, a closed wing, a pool that already has a fish in it. Brooklynn Prince plays the dare straight. Willem Dafoe’s Bobby is the manager who keeps throwing them out and then walking them back. The A24 trailer is the purple hallway. The last shot leaves the motel without explaining the ride.
