Every once in a while a film comes along, that stars a young child who has no acting experience that blows your mind. And, if you've ever seen a movie, you know that child actors get a bad rap at times. Authenticity is key to a strong performances but all to often the young actor below the surface is coming through too much. Not in Sean Baker's The Florida Project! Set in the shadow of the Magic Kingdom, The Florida Project follows 6 year-old Moonee, as she runs amok in and around the motel she lives in with her young, single mother. No film has ever captured the life of a 6 year-old, and her mischief, quite so perfectly. 5/5 |

Life, Animated is a heartwarming documentary about Owen Suskind, a young autistic man who found language and meaningful human connections through his love for animated Disney films. The doc follows Owen as he transitions into independent living. This tugged at my heart stings; I laughed and I cried. This is a very relatable, feel good, plucky and wonderful film. Ultimately, its about the very human need for meaningful connections. Highly recommended! 5/5 |
