“The Florida Project” (** out of four) was a so-what story about a single mother (Bria Vinaite) who struggles desperately to raise her children while living in a Florida hotel under the supervision of a tough but sympathetic hotel property manager (Willem Dafoe). You keep thinking something significant is going to happen or story is going to build and develop but it never does. Dafoe is solid as usual but he’s played this role multiple times before in better films. Many critics cited this as one of the best films of the year but I’m not among them.
