Baker never interferes the equality of these scenes under the eye of his camera makes his film’s pointed ideas about survival and joy all the more striking. Nothing climactic happens in these scenes, we just get to watch and not pass judgment-or pass judgment, whatever, it’s up to us. The camera lives with the characters, watches them haul a bed-bug-infested mattress outside, or sit and eat pancakes by a small creek-ish ditch. Baker plunges his audience into his worlds through the lens of social realism, his camera on the same playing field as Moonee (Brooklynn Prince), her mother Halley (Bria Vinaite) and the manager of the motel they live in, Bobby (Willem Dafoe). However useful a surreal approach to reframing paradise may be, Sean Baker’s The Florida Project presents a more acute critique. Stars: Willem Dafoe, Bria Vinaite, Brooklyn Prince, Valeria Cotto, Christopher Rivera, Caleb Landry Jones
