The Florida Project

I think I would cry in fear if any of the kids in this movie approached me. So confrontational and abrasive So good. One where I never even had the thought of checking my phone or doing anything else. Held my attention sooo well Only thing I didn’t like (and I really didn’t like it) was the final running scene. This super sad scene where the story culminates with the mom and daughter being split up and the daughter goes to her friend to try to say bye for the last time, eventually was just really undercut by the shaky cam, dream like stylization of them running to Disneyland and such a weird like shaky cam shot of some cinematographer just running behind them. Probably supposed to by symbolic or something but that just took me out of it. I’m not gonna let 15 seconds at the end sour the whole movie for me but I honestly really would have preferred that not happen like that. I really gotta sit in the sadness for a while to cry and I was getting there and I could feel the tears get sucked back into my eye sockets when that upbeat music started
