United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Aside from having an exceptional gift for finding beauty in disenfranchised outsider existences, director Sean Baker also has a special feeling for female friendship (...) Willem Dafoe is terrific as Bobby"	POS
United States	Emily Yoshida Vulture	"Near-perfect (...) [A] brilliant, buoyant, and ultimately heart-wrenching film."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"'The Florida Project' features a six-year-old girl in a freeflowing narrative and largely inhabits the limitations of her perspective, with mostly winning results."	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"Willem Dafoe is the ringer here, grounding the movie with a touching, understated performance (...) Baker thankfully never loses his love for revealing little moments that can be gems even if they don’t advance the story"	POS
United States	Ben Kenigsberg rogerebert.com	"A high-wire act that balances pathos, farce, and political commentary without ever losing control of its tone."	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang The Playlist	"Boisterous and heartbreaking (...) Bristling and delightful (...) It’s a domain of endless possibility and adventure."	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"[Baker] steps up to a whole new level (...) [Dafoe] gives one of the best film performances of his entire career (...) There is a lot of joyful noise in this movie (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A remarkable study of poverty, family and personal responsibility, 'The Florida Project' meticulously illustrates how life on the margins affects one impressionable six-year-old."	POS
