I’ve spoken about this film on here before but I’ll do it again because it’s actually my top comfort film, never ceases.

This is the movie that put me onto Sean Baker and it’s a one of a kind film. Baker has a reputation of creating films that centers societal outcasts and this movie centers on the dispossessed population of frequent hotel renters/people who are at risk of homelessness in Florida. At first, you think the movie will be about Moonee and her relationship with Jancey as they explore the world of Kissimmee unattended with their antics but it becomes very clear that Moonee’s mother (Halley) is the driving force for this particular movie. She is such a resilient and caring mother and the audience knows she has so much stacked against her that we want to see her win, despite her glaring parenting faults. Buyers beware, but a lot of people put too much weight in its controversial ending, and I think there’s so much more to say about Bobby, the hotel manager (acred by Willem Dafoe). I am not the most literate cinephile in the world, and to be real I did not ā€œknow Dafoe’s gameā€, but the moral crisis he had to endure was so real, that I think that people who work in social ā€œhelpingā€ professions should seriously examine the boundary between helping and enabling, especially when social systems fail and people are left helpless and desperate. After this movie, I watched more than a few more of Baker’s films— Tangerine, Red Rocket, and I’ve been sleeping on Anora but that’s on my list before the end of the year (in like two days). Seriously, I can’t celebrate this movie enough.

No I don’t want your socials. I don’t want to know when you’re active and not replying, I don’t want to know when you’re posting stories or who you’re following. I don’t wanna know. Tell me in person, when we go on a date. I want you at complete face value with zero pre conceptions.
