"The Florida Project"

Last Wednesday, I went to Sacramento's Tower Theater and saw "The Florida Project," a portal into the world of Florida Trash: specifically, life with single moms at a budget motel near a major theme park. The acting was great (notably Willem Dafoe, and people like Brooklynn Prince as the little girl, but I also liked Bria Vinaite as the Bad Mom). What I really liked, though, was the kids' trippy journey through the fantastical architecture of the commercial strip: tomorrow's archaeology, alive today. (And it's a real place too: Magic Castle Inn and Suites, Kissimmee, FL.)

I notice some critics don't like the ending. Too concepty. I loved the ending, though.
