Here are the best quotes from The Florida Project, telling the story about a little girl growing up in a cheap motel steps away from the happiest place on earth.
In The Florida Project, life through the eyes of six-year-old girl Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) is portrayed as she lives with mother Halley (Bria Vinaite) in a purple motel near Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. While it's an impoverished life, Moonee remains positive and enjoys the simple things like rainbows and ice cream purchased by kind tourists.
Halley struggles to pay rent and often scams tourists for profit before turning to prostitution to earn money. She allows Moonee to run free where Moonee and other children who reside in the motel get into trouble. This irks motel manager Bobby (Willem Dafoe), who tries his best to protect the resident children, even when their parents won't. But as things with Halley get worse, there's only so much he can protect Moonee, especially when Child Protective Services get involved.
