The Florida Project

Carrying on with Sean Baker's filmography, I decided to recover this products, dating eight years back.

A good picture, though, with a great performance by Willem Dafoe.

"Exercise of style" is often a pretty abused expression to indicate a movie (or else) that is a sort of showoff of the director: in this case, unfortunately, it's totally appropriate.
