Abstract
Played by the plucky Brooklynn Prince, Moonee, the protagonist of the much-reviewed The Florida Project, is a 6-going-on-12-year-old girl. 1 Scott A.O. Review: In ‘The Florida Project,’ enchantment in a shabby motel. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/movies/the-florida-project-review-sean-baker-willem-dafoe.html Google Scholar , 2 Robey T. Review: The Florida Project: a hysterically rude, visually stunning cinematic theme park. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/florida-project-review-hysterically-rude-visually-stunning-cinematic Google Scholar Like her friends, Scooty and Jancey, Moonee lives in a budget motel along the commercial strip in Kissimmee, Florida, in the shadow of Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. It’s an off-the-highway world of service roads, abandoned and foreclosed houses, and a variety of colorful tacky stands selling souvenirs, guns, ice cream, and orange juice. Under Moonee’s energetic leadership, these woefully under-supervised kids navigate a child-unfriendly world with an irrepressible sense of adventure, scamming tourists for ice-cream money and even going on a cow-pasture “safari.”
