I watched The Florida Project last night. It provides a usually overlooked (by Hollywood, anyway) slice of contemporary American life centered on a group of people living on the margins, practically in the shadow of Disney World. The contrast between the lives of the adult characters, who scrape to get by any way they can, and the wide-eyed wonder of the children who either don't understand or don't care that they're poor is handled remarkably well and adds up to an experience that is, by turns, unsettling, funny, depressing, and beautiful.
I have only seen a handful of other films that do so well at seeing the world through a child's eyes.
