P Robinson ok I’m sorry but I gotta disagree, I loved this movie and it brought me back to my younger childhood but the ending goes completely off the rails. The entire movie focused on minimalist direction with simple meaningful camera work and a light barely noticeable soundtrack throughout the whole thing, then in the last minute of the movie music comes blasting out of nowhere the camera starts making quick jump cuts around and follows the characters with a shaky cam. in like 5 cuts they go from a hotel to Disney world with no explanation while the police are searching for her, it gives no closure on the characters I had become attached to and completely throws away the harsh realism built by the rest of the movie. I would’ve honestly liked it more if it ended before they even started running as that would give more closure and send the message of the movie clearer than the mess of an ending we have now. Feels like they completely changed directors of the last minute.
@@Kfcbby33 I think that was exactly the director´s intention. That harsh realism was probably too overwhelming for a young girl of that age. She burts into tears at the end and desperately escapes to a world of fantasy, a world where she just wants to be a child.
Hope this movie does well. I was working at disneyworld living paycheck to paycheck in a weekly motel, and one of the saddest things were these kids and their families living there too. Thanks for spotlighting this......thanks for all the attention and likes. This is reality and needs a spotlight. Thank you very much! Please spread the word and share the truth.
Scott Sullivan I was happy too but if something like my car broke down or something else were to happen medically for example I would’ve been bankrupted
Very realistic movie. Can't believe this isn't nominated for best picture. Also the young actress is incredible, holy shit. Now I have to recover from this movie, it made me depressed and sad.
yung bruh bruh The point of the movie was to raise awareness for people living in critical conditions like Moonee and her mother.

Halley wasn’t a responsible mom, but it was clear she really loved Moonee. That’s the saddest part of the film to me.
This movie weirdly depicts how my life was like when i lived in countless motels as a kid so accurately. It’s crazy to see it on screen other than in my memories....i also lived with my single mom who always had men over. She struggled with drugs and alcohol...but me being a child, i still only saw the purity of it all. when i’d describe my past to people - everyone would always tell me how sad and horrible it must’ve been to live like that...but they were some of my fondest memories. i was free back then. wandering around, being a kid with no boundaries. sure, looking back - it was probably irresponsible of my mom to let me roam around...but i can never get that again. just being able to explore and enjoy life for the simple things....not responsibilities.
I can only dream of having this kind of freedom in my childhood. I never have any stories about my childhood and I always which that I was not very creatively inclined as a kid and ended up not doing very much besides school work. Thank you for your story and point of view.
I had same childhood as a kid and my innocents as a kid is what allowed me not to see all the drugs and men my mother was sleeping with to make money to eat and looking back on it there were times where I didn't know what was happening but they were great anyway and I mainly just wanted to say I live in Florida still I'm 15 now and my life as a kid was interesting I've watched forest get turned into a trailer park and suburbs highways being built it's amazing to see.
i love bobby, he really cared for everyone at the motel. he always looked out for the kids no matter what. when there was a pedophile around them me confronted him. he acted like a father to hailey, even though she got mad he was doing it to protect her and moonee. he was so sweet to them and even though he was a little tough on them he still cared for them.
@@joaomarcos2089 Because after confronting Hailey about it, she still was doing it. I understand she didn't have much of a choice, but it's still a really messed up environment. The system should then help her, but the movie ends with that up in the air. Her daughter will be taken from her, and who knows if it will improve her life or not.
@@joaomarcos2089 It wasn’t him, was Ashley who called DCF I guess at the end Bobby contributed a little bit because where did the DCF take out the footage of the different people getting in the room.
This trailer was beautiful. Reminds me of my childhood growing up in Florida. Riding bikes, breaking into unlocked apartments, not realizing how poor we were. Shit was real
Kayla Castro Same here! This brought back so many childhood memories I had “forgotten”. I felt so rich with so little. I grew up within miles of where this was filmed, and would meet up with the neighborhood kids to raise hell just like the kids in the movie
I was thinking the same thing while watching the film, especially when the kids go into the abandoned houses. That was a thing way back in the 70s and 80s.
@@Learnamericanenglishonline I live in Nevada and the only thing to do for fun is break into abandoned places 😂😂 been in trouble way too many times for it. This movie was so relatable
The world ain't ready!!!!! I screened this film a few weeks ago and I still can't shake it. Revolutionary. Never has a film so masterfully tapped into the innocence of childhood. It makes you want to turn back time. My life has been forever changed.
Yeah, thats the feel I got from watching the trailer. When the kids were yelling "boobies" at the topless women at the pool. Yup, thats the kinda stuff we did as kids.
This is like a big giant middle finger to those people who say that kids can't act Edit: Dang, I think this is the most likes I’ve ever gotten on a comment. Thank you!
Especially when Moonie says ‘don’t make me say it…bye’ while crying killed me. She’s losing everything that matters to her; her mom, her home, and especially her best friend.
I can already tell this is going to hit a soft spot. In high school, after an eviction, my family and I lived in an extended stay hotel. Some of the best and worst memories I have.
Best and worst, exactly. They're not exactly miserable, and they're having an amazing childhood in some ways. So much so that when the child gets a chance at a safer, more normal life, you feel very sorry for her. She was after all having the time of her life.
This is the harsh reality of many of the people in this area. I drive by all these places every single day on the way to work. I have had co-workers and family who have lived in these conditions. This is very real. I hope the film is as great as it looks.
@@Purplecolors88 I bet those kids would prefer to keep roaming around abandoned houses and spitting from balconies than ceasing to exist. Every life is a blessing.
I love that they showed some of the most recognizable places in the Kissimmee area. This makes me so happy for some reason. Seeing the area I grew up in on the big screen.
Wu YiFan's Chin Scar Haha ikr, I live in Titusville but we go to the Orange County and Kissimmee are almost everyother day. I stopped and paused the video at the Orange and Wizard gift shop lol
This is the most accurate movie about at risk children ive ever seen. Especially taking place in Florida, this really hits home. Ive lived this life as a child and its so true to life.
Grew up poor, but I got to LIVE. The countless adventures in the woods, the friends, the freedom... roaming flea markets alone with other kids my age, climbing on old knocked down trees, feeding the local cows and goats. We now live somewhat comfortable and a part of me is happy my kids will never know the struggle I knew, but a part of me is also sad they won't experience the adventure of life I had that you can't really show them unless you were at that place of struggle. Everything looks different from down there, and so much more amazing. Will be watching this tonight with my 13 year old who recommended it to me.
This is an incredible movie that depicts poverty and childhood - an unrepresented population in America. It delves into the bitter truth of living in a culture of systemic exploitation. We see both the mom and the children in the movie learning the rules of living a life where exploitation is the cultural norm. It is a Thelma and Louise of childhood. Going back a bit farther, it is akin to Mother Courage and Her Children - a play by Bertolt Brecht which depicts life as a mother trying to survive in a decades long European war.
Nope, the mother of this movie is a horrid person, she does nothing to better her, or her child’s, life in any way. The other moms and dads seem to be trying at the very least, but the main mother is a degenerate who does nothing to help her child. Unfortunate, that means the daughter will grow to be just like her, childish, without reason on fear of consequences.
Children tend to be great actors because they don’t really block themselves from being immersed in the character and plot. They also have vivid imaginations and tend to play characters anyway in their day to day life. At least from what I’ve noticed from being involved in the performing arts. Kids are wonderful🥰
This movie really hit home for me because in my hometown, there are small communities like the one in this film. People, like the tourists that call the motel a dump & such, don't understand that the people living in these communities are still human beings like you & me. Yes, they might have put themselves in these situations, but they're still human. I know friends, I even have a couple of family members who live in these kinds of communities and they are some of my closest friends and family that I love truly. Willem Dafoe's character shows humanity towards the people living in his motel, while the people who pass by don't. Because they are not just people living in his motel, they are his friends and like family to him. The Florida Project is one of the best films of 2017, and a very important film overall.
Brooklynn Price's (Moonee) final minutes in the movie left me shocked. I hope she keeps acting in the future. Her crying to Jancey gave me goosebumps. Was not expecting her to not only cry on cue, but cry WHILE STILL reciting her lines. Crazy good for how young she is
hipster cinematography, casting experienced and familiar actors that otherwise would not get decent roles anymore (unfortunately) and an actual story (you know, with a message).
Indie Movie Production that uses a combination of experienced actors/actresses and up and coming actors/actresses, along with Fantastic story telling and great cinemetography. They're about making a quality film, not how much money can we make. They did Moonlight, Room, It Comes at Night, and A Ghost Story
The simplicity, honesty, tenderness and sadness of this movie is so beautiful. The acting feels as though you're watching regular people and that is a true testament to the actors and director. Also, even though it takes place in motels and traffic, the movie is wonderful to look at. Wonderful film!
living in a hotel in kissimmee is exactly what my family‘s going through, my mom got a job at the disney call center so hopefully we can find an apartment available soon. this shit hits home a lot, especially since it’s not my first time
@@chuualwayswins that's great to hear! me and my single mom are actually living in magic castle hotel right now, I understand what you were going through. It's differcult times
XxLilacMoonzxX it really does, hope you guys will find something better soon! I’ve never stayed in magic castle, but I have lived around the kissimmee and haines city area. you’ll find a greater opportunity in the future because it does get better!!!
@@chuualwayswins thank you! that means a lot! I been switching between hotels ever since I was 7. It's hard not living a normal life like other kids at school. But when I turn 14/15 I want to try get a job to help my mom get double money, then we could be able to get an apartment! but I'm only 13 rn haha
This movie is special as it taps into those transitions in life where one part of your life ends but you’ve not yet reach the beginning of a new one. It’s an in between where you experience freedom as a child but instability and uncertainty as an adult. And then life forces you into a situation. I can’t explain it.
I cried my eyes out at the end when she ran from the DCF ladies and went to say bye to Chancey, the way she started crying, it didn't feel like movie. 😫😥
This movie made me cry, the ending especially. It really reminded of the innocence of little kids and how they can find good anywhere, even without any money.
during that first hour, i kept thinking "there's no way they're going to redeem hailee. she's repulsive. the most unlikable character in years!!!" and lo and behold, they did. my heart was breaking for her and her daughter at the end. just.... damm. that's brilliant film making and story telling.
It's a powerful film that deserves to be seen, but I'm amazed that some people found it funny and heartwarming. That wasn't the mood when I saw it; the audience left in complete silence, looking shaken by what they had seen. Sensitive people will find some scenes difficult and disturbing to watch, as the doomed central characters head towards tragedy, seemingly unwilling and unable to change course.
I hope you find it rewarding, but at least you'll be prepared! Some of the reviews/synopses are amazingly misleading, making it sound like a nostalgic story featuring sweet kids having adventures.
Watching the preview a couple times, seeing the girl explore the town with her friends, remind me of being a free range child in the seventies and eighties. Went on adventures, came back before the street light came on.
I always wished to live back in the 80's. Me and my friends love to bike in the summer, play on the beach, eat icecream, and play baseball until it was sunset. It's a shame that we don't see a lot of kids outside anymore.
Free range 70’s kid here as well. The wonderful things you did and discovered with your friends before the street lights came on, and you had the cuts and bruises to prove it! I still have a (faded) long scrape scar on my thigh from falling off my bike going super fast downhill and sliding on concrete to the bottom. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.
I'm going to major in Film Making after I graduate high school and it's my dream to work for A24. They have just created so many amazing and deep films that continues to tell beautiful and engaging stories, and that's exactly what I want to be able to do one day.
J. H. Ghoul Oh my god I completely forgot I wrote that comment 😂 But I’m actually attending UNCSA as a filmmaking student, specifically under the picture and sound editing department. I start my third year in just a couple days but I’m still workin hard to get to A24
Just. It just. I've never seen a movie that pinned me the floor with silence and introspection. None of it feels like a film, and it's characters are people we all recognize. It's innocence is brutailty. While adults are crumbling the children are just living and playing and can't grasp the tragedy around them which is the truely tragic part. When Moonie cries it was such an honest wet fingers in her mouth kind of a cry that any parent would recognize and rips your heart out. I want to say it's art, but it was so literal and honest that it doesn't even feel like art. It just feels like another day, and that is beautiful no matter how painful it is.
I really related to this film because I grew up poor and my imagination made my situation unknown to me and my siblings. A truly beautiful movie that will please humanists. Every cast member serves an Oscar. The directing, producing and script writing is award worthy, too. Willem Dafoe really endears the audience and that just proves how great an actor he is, playing a villain to a soft hearted gruff character. I see great things for Brooklynn Prince, the main character.
Maxmillan Maxmillan well "poor" children in the US are not actually poor. They usually have a roof, plumbing, ac, beds, clean clothing, foodstamps, cartoons, free school, healthcare etc. Much more than poor kids in other countries. Its only when theyre old enough to compare themselves to the joneses that they feel "poor" but they are not very poor.
I disagree. Many poor children in the US have substandard diet, no ac, bedbugs, poor medical care, substandard clothes and shoes, untreated or undiagnosed learning disabilities, no dental care, and stress from absent parents. Sure they are not labouring in mines but still poor. And lots are homeless. @@alexandramn6734
Even though this movie came out 4 years ago, I watched it for the first time this year and when I tell you, no movie had ever made me cry like this one. Such an amazing movie I really wish I could rewatch it for the first time. I grew up in a poor neighborhood and there was a few scenes in which I related to which made me bawl even more… this is really one of my comfort movies it’s amazing.
I was recommended this movie from a friend and I truly enjoyed the innocence of the children. They lived in poverty, but found the joy in every little thing. What an amazing film (but it felt like a documentary).
It's ridiculous that neither VALERIA COTTO or BRIA VINAITE were considered for Best Supporting or Best Actress nominations, I mean some of the actresses nominated were so mediocre this year.
@@henryettoit897 It didn't cast Disney in a bad light at all. The film portrayed Disney World as an unreachable utopia, but it didn't fault Disney for the fact that these people weren't responsible enough to afford it
@@henryettoit897 Is there something that proves that or are you just guessing? I mean the chances of a couple voters deciding that the movie is anti-Disney and then swaying the vote are very slim. It's not like the Academy has a ton of Disney employees and even if it did then again I don't understand how the movie would be perceived as hating on Disney
I don’t know how to describe it but this is such a beautiful movie. Yes, it’s slow burn, yes it’s slice of life, yes it’s simple. But the cinematography, the screenplay. It’s just so beautiful. It’s heartfelt. The film just captures a piece of life that people may not know. It’s beautiful.
That is the beauty and purpose of films like this one. To open our eyes and try to see things from a different perspective. That’s how we learn. That’s how we become better.
My fiancé grew up in a similar situation/setting to the one in this film and she was choked up for almost the entire runtime. We watch a lot of movies together and she believes that this film captures childhood innocence amidst American poverty in a more accurate way than anything else she's seen.
This movie was incredible. Brought me back to my childhood. This movie felt so real. I cannot believe this was Bria Vinaites first film! She did such a good job I seriously forgot she was acting. She played that character so well. The children in this movie were also so amazing. I have never seen a film where all the children in the film could actually ACT. This film really stuck with me. GO WATCH THIS MOVIE!!
I grew up in Florida. Not in a hotel but I’m of the last generation that was able to play outside freely without fear of something terrible happening. This film captures so much of that freeness and carefreeness of being a child. As kid you’re happy regardless of your surroundings.
I love this movie. I think about it often. Can never remember the name and finally looked it up to watch again. I'll never forget it going forward. The end...😢
One of the most thought provoking films I have seen in a while . How on earth did they get a performance like this out of a 6 yr old ! Defoe immense. A masterful piece of social observation on the innocence of childhood and how American society has failed so many . Tragic but moving .
Every few months I come here to watch this trailer to remind myself how beautiful this movie is. I wish I could erase my memory so that I watch it again for the first time.
I am a school bus driver. I used to drop a little girl off at a motel that was raised off the ground. I would let her watch Bluey on my phone before she would go back to the awfulness. I’ve cried several times thinking about it. I’m sorry to anyone reading this who grew up in a similar or worse way.
I grew up living in Orlando my whole life and my family always had passes to Universal, Disney and Seaworld. I've been to all three parks more than I could ever count and it truly is magical. With that said, it is heartbreaking to know that this is the very situation that so many families live in and I'm so thankful that I never did. And what is pretty haunting to me is, that this motel, The Magic Castle is probably about 2/3 miles from Disney World.
Apart from showcasing the beauty and innocence of childhood that is so well done in this film, this trailer really isn't representative of the movie. The Florida Project is a slice of life piece that explores various aspects of poverty. It's fantastic, but don't expect a "feel good" experience.
Man, just saw this. Very different from anything I've seen on TV. Gorgeously filmed, superb scenes, carefree children, and harsh reality in the background. Unique film, happy I've seen it. 5/5. Glad that my national TV service (Sweden) chose to pick up this one. More of the world needs to see this
I live for almost a year homeless in a hotel right down the street from where this movie was shot there really is an epidemic of families living in hotels there because housing is so hard to come by I'm so happy that they made a movie about this. Can't wait to see it.
Such a fantastic movie. I love that the director seemingly let the kids improvise at times. Made those random moments of them being rotten kids so real. The ending was amazing too, I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie
I just saw this. I was literally one day away from being homeless while raising my daughter much of the time. If you crossed one person or if they were remotely jealous they’d call CPS on you. I never had tattoos, never did drugs, but I remember the struggle. It was every day.
This movie is so nostalgic. It wasn't my childhood, but it reminded me of summers spent with my cousins in Virginia. We had so much freedom, probably too much, and almost got hurt once. There was danger and sadness surrounding those days, but I'll always remember them fondly
Brooklyn Prince and Bria Vinaite were both astounding, but the addition of Willem Dafoe lifted this movie to what I considered the Best Film of the year.
This movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time! I cried like a baby, it completely wrecked me. Captures the innocence of childhood and puts a humanist light on a heartbreaking reality for some! Excellent acting. This should’ve been nominated for best picture. Def a hidden jewel worth watching. The end sent me 😭😭😭
It you haven’t watched it, stop the trailer and go watch it. Brilliant acting it almost feels real and simply a beautiful film that everyone should watch
I just recently found this on Netflix (because quarantine) and wow! I’m impressed. As a 17 year old, I’ve never seen this side of life. I live in a house in the suburbs in western Pennsylvania, born to two parents with degrees, jobs, and a mortgage. Kids never want what they don’t know. I didn’t know extreme amounts of freedom because my parents cared. This movie shows the opposite. She didn’t mind if her mom didn’t care because she had freedom.
I'm just here to tell how much i cried at that last scene...JESUS! So simple, but so perfect.

There was a moment I realized " damn ! A24 never made a bad movie" so basically I don't have to watch the trailers anymore. I know I'm gonna love it anyways. That's pretty rare nowadays. Hats off
One of the most realistic and phenomenal movies ever made! The acting is Oscar worthy for every single person in this! Moonie is one of the greatest examples of acting in the history of film!
what I like about this movie is how halley is actually really nice and funny with her daughter, she never treated her bad, it was just a kid and it didn't had the blame to their problems. Maybe she was irresponsable, but she was young and had problems. and the mother-daughter relationship was beautiful and got me emotional. sorry for the bad english, hope u get my point
My daughter recommended this movie to me. I never did sex work, but I was pretty poor when she was younger. My family... are not the best of people. Lots of drunks, lots of addicts. Insanely, I was able to live in the margin of their lives while not ruining mine. But! My daughter saw some things, experienced some things... Etc. i regret it a lot but i was a teenage mom and I got my shit together when she was 9 or so. She showed me this movie and said, "my best memories are from Kansas". How can something break and mend your heart at the same time? I still regret my early twenties but I guess my daughter grew up loved, relatively safe, carefree and free range. If she can look back on it fondly, I suppose I can try, too. ❤
Such an underrated movie, the cinematography is breathtaking, the acting is realistic, the casting is great, the ending was amazing. This movie deserves more love than it got
This truly reminded me of how I lived in West VA, my mom would struggle finding a job and would hustle to help provide me with happiness.. the ending brought me to tears. Must watch! It's also funny

This movie is the perfect example why you dont need high budget to make good movie
2 million is still high
I doubt you can find such kids in your area that act like the one in this movie.
This is a underrated comment
Sean Baker's first feature film, Tangerine, is even cheaper: he shot it entirely using some IPhones. And it's awesome as well.

Daniel - I don't work for A24. I was lucky enough to watch it early and I think it's incredible. I don't need a paycheck to promote incredible art.
@@23ofSeptember wait is that why it was r rated?
@@23ofSeptember haha metoo!!
This movie is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I was sucked in. Incredible job.
ForNoOne1 same here. Gosh, I Cried a lot.
Me too.I loved it.
seems not my kind of movie, but it looks like makes me want to be a father of daughters
Roysul Saputra this movie isnt about Father-daughter relationship
Ultimately, almost nothing uplifting about this fucking film, except through the eyes of a child too young to see how it might end.😢😢😭😭
This is like a big giant middle finger to those people who say that kids can't act
Edit: Dang, I think this is the most likes I’ve ever gotten on a comment. Thank you!
I found it to be the opposite
kids shouldnt act. thats basically child labour smh
@@EasyBreezy41 || a-are you serious????
I mean most children can't act tbh
@@rosechannn9260 yeah
Movies rarely make me cry but that scene where Moonee goes to Jancey’s house...holy shit. 😭
Her acting was insanely real. Usually child acting breaks the immersion for me but god damn Brooklynn killed it.
I was sobbing so hard during that scene omg
@@aviva9757 so hard. A movie hasn’t made me cry like that in so long
I made a video visiting some of the film locations from the filming of the Florida project! Go check it out! First video on my channel
Especially when Moonie says ‘don’t make me say it…bye’ while crying killed me. She’s losing everything that matters to her; her mom, her home, and especially her best friend.
When Moonee started crying to her friend it broke my heart! Such an amazing scene and movie

I can already tell this is going to hit a soft spot. In high school, after an eviction, my family and I lived in an extended stay hotel. Some of the best and worst memories I have.
Jordan Bean thanks for sharing this.
Best and worst, exactly. They're not exactly miserable, and they're having an amazing childhood in some ways. So much so that when the child gets a chance at a safer, more normal life, you feel very sorry for her. She was after all having the time of her life.
This is the harsh reality of many of the people in this area. I drive by all these places every single day on the way to work. I have had co-workers and family who have lived in these conditions. This is very real. I hope the film is as great as it looks.
nicolas rosado but they keep having kids the kids suffer in proverty
K town whoop woop! But yeah, it’s a great film and this is an emotional film.
@@Purplecolors88 I bet those kids would prefer to keep roaming around abandoned houses and spitting from balconies than ceasing to exist. Every life is a blessing.
@@Purplecolors88they already have the kids. Should they put them back where they came from?
I love that they showed some of the most recognizable places in the Kissimmee area. This makes me so happy for some reason. Seeing the area I grew up in on the big screen.
Wu YiFan's Chin Scar Same, major nostalgia. Hopefully Old Town shows up at some point, it's right next to Orange World so why not?
Sticky Krippy Holy shit so true. I hope so!
It looks like they're gonna cover most of the 192 landmarks, so Old Town should definitely be in there. That's like THE 192 landmark
Wu YiFan's Chin Scar Haha ikr, I live in Titusville but we go to the Orange County and Kissimmee are almost everyother day. I stopped and paused the video at the Orange and Wizard gift shop lol
kiss me is near titsville? sounds like a nice part of the world (looks nice too tbh)
This is the most accurate movie about at risk children ive ever seen. Especially taking place in Florida, this really hits home. Ive lived this life as a child and its so true to life.

Grew up poor, but I got to LIVE. The countless adventures in the woods, the friends, the freedom... roaming flea markets alone with other kids my age, climbing on old knocked down trees, feeding the local cows and goats. We now live somewhat comfortable and a part of me is happy my kids will never know the struggle I knew, but a part of me is also sad they won't experience the adventure of life I had that you can't really show them unless you were at that place of struggle. Everything looks different from down there, and so much more amazing. Will be watching this tonight with my 13 year old who recommended it to me.
This is an incredible movie that depicts poverty and childhood - an unrepresented population in America. It delves into the bitter truth of living in a culture of systemic exploitation. We see both the mom and the children in the movie learning the rules of living a life where exploitation is the cultural norm. It is a Thelma and Louise of childhood. Going back a bit farther, it is akin to Mother Courage and Her Children - a play by Bertolt Brecht which depicts life as a mother trying to survive in a decades long European war.
Barbara Collier
Well said
Nope, the mother of this movie is a horrid person, she does nothing to better her, or her child’s, life in any way. The other moms and dads seem to be trying at the very least, but the main mother is a degenerate who does nothing to help her child. Unfortunate, that means the daughter will grow to be just like her, childish, without reason on fear of consequences.
Its weird to see Dafoe being so paternal and loving.
Malia Intikhab ha!
The scene where he kicks a pedophile out of the hotel was particularly moving.
Haha was thinking the same thing. Weird choice but he is a great actor.
What happened to Monday?
I know right? Shouldn't he be worshiping Satan or something? :p
What’s up with all these child actors and why are they so good. At their age i Couldn’t even say my name in front of class
ikr the lead girl is amazing, i have no idea who is responsible, whether the director or casting job but very well done, she is hilarious.
I know right! The acting in this movie was great! The kids did an amazing job!
I feel like they did a lot of improv. Let the kids be kids while the camera rolls. Lots of editing down for sure.
Children tend to be great actors because they don’t really block themselves from being immersed in the character and plot. They also have vivid imaginations and tend to play characters anyway in their day to day life. At least from what I’ve noticed from being involved in the performing arts. Kids are wonderful🥰
This movie really hit home for me because in my hometown, there are small communities like the one in this film. People, like the tourists that call the motel a dump & such, don't understand that the people living in these communities are still human beings like you & me. Yes, they might have put themselves in these situations, but they're still human. I know friends, I even have a couple of family members who live in these kinds of communities and they are some of my closest friends and family that I love truly. Willem Dafoe's character shows humanity towards the people living in his motel, while the people who pass by don't. Because they are not just people living in his motel, they are his friends and like family to him. The Florida Project is one of the best films of 2017, and a very important film overall.
Love this movie. My favorite.

Brooklynn Price's (Moonee) final minutes in the movie left me shocked. I hope she keeps acting in the future. Her crying to Jancey gave me goosebumps. Was not expecting her to not only cry on cue, but cry WHILE STILL reciting her lines. Crazy good for how young she is
What is it with A24 and the fact that they make good shit?
gogotrololo 619 and sadly nobody goes to see them.
hipster cinematography, casting experienced and familiar actors that otherwise would not get decent roles anymore (unfortunately) and an actual story (you know, with a message).
I think A24 replaced Harvey Weinstein as the go-to production house for anything indie, cerebral, and plain good.
Indie Movie Production that uses a combination of experienced actors/actresses and up and coming actors/actresses, along with Fantastic story telling and great cinemetography. They're about making a quality film, not how much money can we make. They did Moonlight, Room, It Comes at Night, and A Ghost Story
cheeze whiz After the events of this weekend (Harvey Weinstein’s ousting from TWC), it’s official. A24 is the indie king right now.
The simplicity, honesty, tenderness and sadness of this movie is so beautiful. The acting feels as though you're watching regular people and that is a true testament to the actors and director. Also, even though it takes place in motels and traffic, the movie is wonderful to look at. Wonderful film!

@@chuualwayswins thank you! that means a lot! I been switching between hotels ever since I was 7. It's hard not living a normal life like other kids at school. But when I turn 14/15 I want to try get a job to help my mom get double money, then we could be able to get an apartment! but I'm only 13 rn haha
This movie is special as it taps into those transitions in life where one part of your life ends but you’ve not yet reach the beginning of a new one. It’s an in between where you experience freedom as a child but instability and uncertainty as an adult. And then life forces you into a situation. I can’t explain it.
I cried my eyes out at the end when she ran from the DCF ladies and went to say bye to Chancey, the way she started crying, it didn't feel like movie. 😫😥
The whole movie feels like that it's so real and raw
A24, you're a gift to the world. I can't wait to see this one...and the next one...and the next one.
Yep, nearly always a sign of quality.

I saw this film yesterday. It is gorgeous and glorious, funny and sad, sweet and crude. All around beautiful
Santiago One of the best films of the year
during that first hour, i kept thinking "there's no way they're going to redeem hailee. she's repulsive. the most unlikable character in years!!!" and lo and behold, they did. my heart was breaking for her and her daughter at the end. just.... damm. that's brilliant film making and story telling.
Same thoughts.Easily one of the best movie of the year
Really? It sucked
wtf is with the ending
Such an underrated film. Should've been nominated for best picture.
Oathhh
@@ScottSullivanTV Not for Best Picture... :/
I'd rather give it to Lady Bird then The Florida Project, But I still think is was a good movie

@Diego Pisfil What movie 3 billboards
It's a powerful film that deserves to be seen, but I'm amazed that some people found it funny and heartwarming. That wasn't the mood when I saw it; the audience left in complete silence, looking shaken by what they had seen. Sensitive people will find some scenes difficult and disturbing to watch, as the doomed central characters head towards tragedy, seemingly unwilling and unable to change course.
nice name :)
Yours is nicer! :)
I can totally relate to that surely I'll be one of those people in silence, it looks like a good film, I'll watch it
I hope you find it rewarding, but at least you'll be prepared! Some of the reviews/synopses are amazingly misleading, making it sound like a nostalgic story featuring sweet kids having adventures.
I felt the same. Some moments between the daughter and mother were sweet, but overall the movie was powerful, yet depressing.
Watching the preview a couple times, seeing the girl explore the town with her friends, remind me of being a free range child in the seventies and eighties. Went on adventures, came back before the street light came on.
You are in for a treat .It was really a beautiful story hope you saw the movie.
I always wished to live back in the 80's. Me and my friends love to bike in the summer, play on the beach, eat icecream, and play baseball until it was sunset. It's a shame that we don't see a lot of kids outside anymore.
We're just trying to make the best out of our childhood before we start our last years of highschool.
sp00ky Because of to much technology. Kids are lazy.
Free range 70’s kid here as well. The wonderful things you did and discovered with your friends before the street lights came on, and you had the cuts and bruises to prove it! I still have a (faded) long scrape scar on my thigh from falling off my bike going super fast downhill and sliding on concrete to the bottom. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.
I'm going to major in Film Making after I graduate high school and it's my dream to work for A24. They have just created so many amazing and deep films that continues to tell beautiful and engaging stories, and that's exactly what I want to be able to do one day.

@@njbenik best wishes, man
How are you doing now man. Hope everything is going fine.
Just. It just. I've never seen a movie that pinned me the floor with silence and introspection. None of it feels like a film, and it's characters are people we all recognize. It's innocence is brutailty. While adults are crumbling the children are just living and playing and can't grasp the tragedy around them which is the truely tragic part. When Moonie cries it was such an honest wet fingers in her mouth kind of a cry that any parent would recognize and rips your heart out. I want to say it's art, but it was so literal and honest that it doesn't even feel like art. It just feels like another day, and that is beautiful no matter how painful it is.
I really related to this film because I grew up poor and my imagination made my situation unknown to me and my siblings. A truly beautiful movie that will please humanists. Every cast member serves an Oscar. The directing, producing and script writing is award worthy, too. Willem Dafoe really endears the audience and that just proves how great an actor he is, playing a villain to a soft hearted gruff character. I see great things for Brooklynn Prince, the main character.
Maxmillan Maxmillan well "poor" children in the US are not actually poor. They usually have a roof, plumbing, ac, beds, clean clothing, foodstamps, cartoons, free school, healthcare etc. Much more than poor kids in other countries. Its only when theyre old enough to compare themselves to the joneses that they feel "poor" but they are not very poor.
I disagree. Many poor children in the US have substandard diet, no ac, bedbugs, poor medical care, substandard clothes and shoes, untreated or undiagnosed learning disabilities, no dental care, and stress from absent parents. Sure they are not labouring in mines but still poor. And lots are homeless. @@alexandramn6734
@@alexandramn6734I agree. We hv slums
Even though this movie came out 4 years ago, I watched it for the first time this year and when I tell you, no movie had ever made me cry like this one. Such an amazing movie I really wish I could rewatch it for the first time. I grew up in a poor neighborhood and there was a few scenes in which I related to which made me bawl even more… this is really one of my comfort movies it’s amazing.

I was recommended this movie from a friend and I truly enjoyed the innocence of the children. They lived in poverty, but found the joy in every little thing. What an amazing film (but it felt like a documentary).
It's ridiculous that neither VALERIA COTTO or BRIA VINAITE were considered for Best Supporting or Best Actress nominations, I mean some of the actresses nominated were so mediocre this year.
MerkinMuffly That's the Academy for you.
they snubbed this movie because it casted Disney in a bad light.
@@henryettoit897 It didn't cast Disney in a bad light at all. The film portrayed Disney World as an unreachable utopia, but it didn't fault Disney for the fact that these people weren't responsible enough to afford it
@@calebvilla246 tell that to disney who used their weight to influence the oscar panel regarding this film.
@@henryettoit897 Is there something that proves that or are you just guessing? I mean the chances of a couple voters deciding that the movie is anti-Disney and then swaying the vote are very slim. It's not like the Academy has a ton of Disney employees and even if it did then again I don't understand how the movie would be perceived as hating on Disney
I don’t know how to describe it but this is such a beautiful movie. Yes, it’s slow burn, yes it’s slice of life, yes it’s simple. But the cinematography, the screenplay. It’s just so beautiful. It’s heartfelt. The film just captures a piece of life that people may not know. It’s beautiful.

My fiancé grew up in a similar situation/setting to the one in this film and she was choked up for almost the entire runtime. We watch a lot of movies together and she believes that this film captures childhood innocence amidst American poverty in a more accurate way than anything else she's seen.

I grew up in Florida. Not in a hotel but I’m of the last generation that was able to play outside freely without fear of something terrible happening. This film captures so much of that freeness and carefreeness of being a child. As kid you’re happy regardless of your surroundings.
Yeah me too. Town was shitty but we still had a good life as kids. Now kids are not allowed to be kids.
I love this movie. I think about it often. Can never remember the name and finally looked it up to watch again. I'll never forget it going forward. The end...😢
One of the most thought provoking films I have seen in a while . How on earth did they get a performance like this out of a 6 yr old ! Defoe immense. A masterful piece of social observation on the innocence of childhood and how American society has failed so many . Tragic but moving .
Every few months I come here to watch this trailer to remind myself how beautiful this movie is. I wish I could erase my memory so that I watch it again for the first time.
Love me a Florida story. Lots of fun characters here that's for sure
Seth White true
Boca Raton represent
Seth White yeah..."fun characters"
I fucking hate Georgia I want to move back to Jax lol
Fun characters that represent nightmare 'neighbours from hell'!
I am a school bus driver. I used to drop a little girl off at a motel that was raised off the ground. I would let her watch Bluey on my phone before she would go back to the awfulness. I’ve cried several times thinking about it. I’m sorry to anyone reading this who grew up in a similar or worse way.
I grew up living in Orlando my whole life and my family always had passes to Universal, Disney and Seaworld. I've been to all three parks more than I could ever count and it truly is magical. With that said, it is heartbreaking to know that this is the very situation that so many families live in and I'm so thankful that I never did. And what is pretty haunting to me is, that this motel, The Magic Castle is probably about 2/3 miles from Disney World.
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH EVERY ONE WHO WAS A PART OF MAKING THIS FILM. Such a simple view at the complicated lives we lead. Bria Vinaite
Why have I watched this 6 times today?
maybe because you haven't seen the film yet...great one
Isn’t it weird to think that kids actually live there and they probably do the same things the kid actors are doing in this film :0
We do I'm living like it now
I grew up in k town and pretty much this film was my childhood.
This movie should of been nominated as one of the best films of the year. Intriguing, raw, and beautiful.
Apart from showcasing the beauty and innocence of childhood that is so well done in this film, this trailer really isn't representative of the movie. The Florida Project is a slice of life piece that explores various aspects of poverty. It's fantastic, but don't expect a "feel good" experience.
Man, just saw this. Very different from anything I've seen on TV. Gorgeously filmed, superb scenes, carefree children, and harsh reality in the background. Unique film, happy I've seen it. 5/5. Glad that my national TV service (Sweden) chose to pick up this one. More of the world needs to see this

Adore this film, just by re-watching this trailer make me feel so sad about all the childhood that's left behind me
I live for almost a year homeless in a hotel right down the street from where this movie was shot there really is an epidemic of families living in hotels there because housing is so hard to come by I'm so happy that they made a movie about this. Can't wait to see it.
Such a fantastic movie. I love that the director seemingly let the kids improvise at times. Made those random moments of them being rotten kids so real. The ending was amazing too, I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie
I just saw this. I was literally one day away from being homeless while raising my daughter much of the time. If you crossed one person or if they were remotely jealous they’d call CPS on you. I never had tattoos, never did drugs, but I remember the struggle. It was every day.

Joyous and heart breaking. I watch this movie every once in a while to feel more human.
Brooklyn Prince and Bria Vinaite were both astounding, but the addition of Willem Dafoe lifted this movie to what I considered the Best Film of the year.
I had no idea that Bria Vinaite was not previously an actor, nor an American. Despite that, she was realistic
Why did this trailer make me tear up?
filterrr same, I’ve watched it several times and it happens every time.

Just saw this movie in 2024. Can't believe I've never heard of this film. The ending had me in tears. 😭
Just finished and I’m still balling 😢! Great film
I worked in the central region of Florida as a social worker, the depiction in this movie is absolutely spot on.
I just recently found this on Netflix (because quarantine) and wow! I’m impressed. As a 17 year old, I’ve never seen this side of life. I live in a house in the suburbs in western Pennsylvania, born to two parents with degrees, jobs, and a mortgage. Kids never want what they don’t know. I didn’t know extreme amounts of freedom because my parents cared. This movie shows the opposite. She didn’t mind if her mom didn’t care because she had freedom.
Aw look at Daddy Dafoe all nice and fatherly
and this time he has a alive family.
Do it Jodie. Do it for me.
He tried to be fatherly in The Hunter, he really did.
*God speed Spider Man.*
I'm surprised he hasn't been casted in any seriously violent roles. Him as the lead in Drive would've been impressive. Or even John Wick.
I'm just here to tell how much i cried at that last scene...JESUS! So simple, but so perfect.
There was a moment I realized " damn ! A24 never made a bad movie" so basically I don't have to watch the trailers anymore. I know I'm gonna love it anyways. That's pretty rare nowadays. Hats off
One of the most realistic and phenomenal movies ever made! The acting is Oscar worthy for every single person in this! Moonie is one of the greatest examples of acting in the history of film!
I didn’t get the closure I needed at the end😭 but it was a beautiful movie
what I like about this movie is how halley is actually really nice and funny with her daughter, she never treated her bad, it was just a kid and it didn't had the blame to their problems. Maybe she was irresponsable, but she was young and had problems. and the mother-daughter relationship was beautiful and got me emotional.
sorry for the bad english, hope u get my point
Saw it last night, beautiful film.
How'd I see it? Early screening.
Was in Chicago, the director Sean Baker was there & did a Q & A afterwards. It'll be out soon enough, definitely see it.
My daughter recommended this movie to me. I never did sex work, but I was pretty poor when she was younger. My family... are not the best of people. Lots of drunks, lots of addicts. Insanely, I was able to live in the margin of their lives while not ruining mine. But! My daughter saw some things, experienced some things... Etc. i regret it a lot but i was a teenage mom and I got my shit together when she was 9 or so. She showed me this movie and said, "my best memories are from Kansas". How can something break and mend your heart at the same time? I still regret my early twenties but I guess my daughter grew up loved, relatively safe, carefree and free range. If she can look back on it fondly, I suppose I can try, too. ❤
😭😭😭!! I totally relate. I'm so happy you have your daughter and she loves you and understands you did everything you could for her🫶🏼🫶🏼💓💓!!

Haven't finished the movie, but I just came to say Willem Dafoe's character is a great person. He's so great to the kids
That Little Girl was incredible! What a film, wow! 👍👍
