'Starlet' and ‘Tangerine’ Director Sean Baker delivers another raw and real portrait of life, this time in the shadow of “happily ever after”.

THE FLORIDA PROJECT knocks on the door of those living in the shadow of "happily ever after." Sean Baker's roving lens not only invites us in, but celebrates the hyper-colorful humanity between the high-stakes struggles of adults and the untethered innocence of childhood. Brooklynn Prince channels Hal Roach's Little Rascals in a performance for the ages, and Willem Dafoe demands to be heard as the beleaguered motel manager whose purple palace stands as a monument to dreams deferred and an America ignored.
