What is life like in "The Shadow of the Mouse?" This 2017 A24 film, directed by Sean Baker, attempts to answer that question.

It centers around a six-year-old girl named Moonee (portrayed by Brooklynn Prince), her mother Halley (portrayed by Bria Vinaite), and Bobby Hicks (portrayed by Willem Dafoe).

While we probably wouldn't be thrilled if the characters played by Brooklynn Prince and Bria Vinaite in The Florida Project were our next-door neighbours, we absolutely loved watching them in this film. In this and in Tangerine, director Sean Baker has shown he really knows how to make an authentic and enjoyable movie with inexperienced actors. Here they're desperate people in impossible circumstances, but they're also making the most of a tough life. Who needs Disney World when they're this good at making their own fun! All the rookie actors are wonderful, but Willem Dafoe stands out too in one of his sweetest roles, a hotel manager who really cares about the little people who need a little help sometimes. So give us a break, lady, as the 455th Ellises' Analysis talks about Baker's modern-day version of the Little Rascals.

Aidan and I eat ice cream under the Orlando sun and talk about why The Florida Project, starring Brooklyn Prince, Bria Vinaite and Willem Dafoe, should have won an Oscar.
Career Q&A with Willem Dafoe on September 26, 2017. Moderated by Jenelle Riley, Variety. Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominated actor Willem Dafoe continues to make his mark in entertainment through a myriad of challenging roles, working alongside the industry's most respected talent. Dafoe will next be seen in Tommy Wirkola’s What Happened to Monday?, with Noomi Rapace and Glenn Close. This film is set in the future and in a world where families are limited to one child due to over population and follows a set of septuplets who must avoid being discovered by the government. Following that, he lends his voice in Adam Wingard’s Death Note with Nat Wolff. The film follows Light Turner (Wolff) who stumbles upon the ‘Death Note,’ a journal in which he can write anyone’s name and kill them at any time, in any fashion he wants. Dafoe plays the role of Ryuk, a shinigami or “death god,” who guides Light to use the Death Note and then watches chaos unfold. Late this year, Dafoe will be seen in Sean Baker’s The Florida Project opposite Bria Vinaite, Brooklynn Prince and Valeria Cotto. The film follows a 6-year-old and her friends who are homeless, living in extended-stay motels on the outskirts of Orlando, Florida. Dafoe plays ‘Bobby,’ the manager of the motel, whose job requires him to be a handyman, an office grind, a den mother, a father figure, and a law enforcer all at the same time. Originally premiering at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival acquiring rave reviews, A24 is slated to release the film October 6, 2017. After, Dafoe has Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express, starring Jonny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Dame Judi Dench. Adapted from the book Agatha Christie, the film follows a lavish train ride through Europe quickly unfolds into the thrilling mystery of thirteen strangers stranded on a train. Twentieth Century Fox will release the film November 10, 2017. Dafoe is currently in production for James Wan’s Aquaman opposite Jason Momoa and Nicole Kidman. Dafoe will be seen as ‘Nuidis Vulko,’ a key venerated academic and politician in Atlantis who comes from the generation before Aquaman’s. Exact details of Vulko’s role in the film are still being kept under wraps. Warner Brothers is slated to release the film December 21, 2018. Following, he will begin lensing for Julian Schnabel’s biopic At Eternity’s Gate, which follows the Dutch Post-Impressionist artist, Vincent Van Gough, (Dafoe) and the time he spent in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise, France. Most notably, Dafoe garnered critical acclaim for his Oscar®nominated supporting role in the category of Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Shadow of a Vampire. The film is a fictionalized account of F. W. Murnau’s making of the classic vampire film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens. During production, the crew begins to have disturbing suspicions about their lead actor, Max Schreck, (Dafoe), who arrives onto set in full Gothic regalia, asserting that he is indeed a vampire. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe®, Screen Actors Guild®, Critics Choice®, and won a Film Independent Spirit Award and Satellite Award on behalf of this performance. Prior to that, Dafoe also received critical acclaim for his Oscar®nominated supporting role in the category of Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Oliver Stone’s Academy Award winning Platoon playing ‘Sargent Elias,’ one of the leaders of the US infantry platoon near the Cambodian border during the Vietnam War.
This was supposed to be Episode 30 of the Everyman Movie Review released way back on January 26th, 2020 as part of "Sean Baker Week". But, apparently, it never went live and I didn't notice *facepalm* SO! I figured, why not post it anyway as a BONUS for this week. Last week, you got the preview episodes of my newest podcast. This week, its more EMMR. Sean Baker week continues with his major motion picture debut - The Florida Project. Baker moves 3000 miles away from the setting of his last movie to place this story in the Kissimmee/Orlando area of Florida - just outside of the Magic Kingdom. I remember the town being all aflutter about his production (and Willam Dafoe's performance) so I was looking forward to checking it out. Was I pleasantly surprised? Check out the episode to find out! Spoiler Alert at 6:45 Back to the Show at 16:44 The Everyman Movie Review is a different kind of movie commentary - it's not about the art of movie-making, but rather about the enjoyment and entertainment of the film itself. It's not about me or my opinion, it's about the movie - does it deliver on what it promises? New episodes on Thursdays - subscribe to be notified when new episodes are available.

In this episode of Midnight at the Movies, I give my raw thoughts and first impressions of the film The Florida Project (2017), directed by Sean Baker, starring Brooklynn Prince, Bria Vinaite, and Willem Dafoe.
Bria Vinaite is a ~*~gemini~*~, actress, writer (she's working on her own script!!!!), and all around POSITIVITY SPREADER! You may recognize her from either her instagram handle @ChronicFlowers , or maybe from that really amazing movie called The Florida Project. Both are equally as likely. I first met Bria at a dinner for Tiffany & Co (Shoutout Natalia Sanchez!!) and knew I wanted to be her friend immediately. Listen to us talk about her experience working with Willem Dafoe, being a "bad kid", the balance between separating the art from the artist (or in some cases not at all), and finding a career later in life. She's @ChronicFlowers and I'm @Atlantabean

Happy Thursday! Today's very special episode of Who? Weekly (jk they are all special) features topics like Bria Vinaite, who is she? And Eiza Gonzalez, who is SHE? Plus, Rachel McAdams' baby daddy, who is HE? (And is she even pregnant?) Is cloning Who-y or Them-y? (Or just an excuse to talk about Barbra Streisand again?) Could you name any of the Sex and the City love interest actors actual IRL names off the top of your head? Go!
***This episode has a Spoiler Section*** The first (46) minutes of our Oscar Sprint Profile for The Florida Project is Spoiler Free, and the final (24...ish?) mins gives you the full MMO Review with spoilers. OSP of The Florida Project Cast & Crew Overview starts w/ Sean Baker’s filmography - 3:10 Willem Dafoe Bio - 4:02 Production Profile - 11:26 Movie Specs - 20:33 Non-Spoiler Review Production Values - 27:23 Performances - 32:58 Final Non-Spoiler Thoughts - 43:39 Spoiler Music - 45:40 Spoiler Review Carryovers (the parental abuse debate) - 47:03 Best Scenes - 50:24 That Ending - 59:02 Final Grades - 1:04:01 This is our Oscar Sprint Profile of The Florida Project, directed by Sean Baker and starring Brooklyn Prince, Willem Dafoe, and Bria Vinaite. Please note, we recorded this episode before the Globes & Critics Choice Awards, where Willem Dafoe went from Oscar favorite to an underdog to Sam Rockwell. We begin by naming that good ole’ indie film feeling, we warn good parents about watching it, and then we handle some obligatory State of the Pod information to bring you up to date on our plans. Our OSP takes off with a Cast & Crew overview including a bio/filmography of Willem Dafoe, and then we chronicle how the co-writer and director, Baker decided upon the film and how he discovered their cast. Hint, they found one of the actresses on something that rhymes with schminstagram. Did you guess FaceBook? It wasn’t FaceBook. The production profile continues with some real history on the issue at the center of the film and discuss how you can help one of the charitable organizations. Do visit the link to donate. http://hope192.com/ We also chronicle stories from behind the scenes, including serendipitous visits by the local wildlife and a crew-wide standing ovation after one particular scene. The Non-Spoiler review raves over the talents of the filmmaker, but we debate whether it’s indie film charms should equate to oscar recognition at the end of the day, or if it’s just a great use of the micro budget by the auteur, Sean Baker. The Willem Dafoe performance sparks some intense consideration of whether it should be an Oscar favorite, and we do hit on some of the pros and cons of the rest of the inexperienced cast. Finally, we begin a debate about the nature of parental abuse that we’ll flush out in the spoiler section. We finish our debate on the parental abuse involved here, and this unlocks some of our review in the spoiler section. The mother/daughter relationship is at the core of the story, and we recap the highs, lows, and WTF moments of that emotional roller coaster. Then it’s Best & Worst scene time, where we highlight some of the best Willem Dafoe, Bria Vinaite, and Brooklyn Prince have to offer. Finally, it’s time to discuss THAT ending, we have another fun debate, and we grade the film. Do contact us on social media. Do please help us spread the word on our podcast. We thank you for all your cooperation and support over these past few weeks, and we’re proud of the jump in our listening numbers. We’ll continue to finish these Oscar Sprint Profiles, update you on Hollywood news including the announcements of the Oscar Noms on 1/23, and then we’ll use the month of February to prepare you for the big show in early March. When reality sucks, watch movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!

This week we had the absolute pleasure of talking to both Willem Dafoe and Sean Baker, the star and the director of The Florida Project, one of the year's most unexpected cinematic delights. Baker's direction flirts with fantasy and realism to create a potent mix of heart-warming and heart-breaking scenes that introduce at least two previously unseen acting talents in Dafoe's co-stars, Brooklyn Prince and Bria Vinaite. Autumn is well and truly here in the UK, but The Florida Project brings a little of that Sunshine State warmth to November. Produced and edited by Jake Cunningham Music supplied by incompetech.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On today's show: Film director Sean Baker and film critic Piers Marchant. First, a very recent conversation I had with filmmaker Sean Baker. I was so taken with Sean Baker's 2015 film TANGERINE, famously and beautifully shot from an Apple iPhone, that I started tracking down his earlier work, four fascinating films, including two brilliantly-executed micro-budget indies, 2004's TAKE OUT set in the world of NYC Chinese food delivery, and 2008's PRINCE OF BROADWAY, about an African immigrant selling knock-off designer bags who is unexpectedly left alone with a baby that might be his son. Baker's 2012 film STARLET centered around a friendship between an elderly widow and a sweet up-and-coming adult film star, played by Muriel Hemingway's daughter, Dree. But it was the 2015 film TANGERINE that was Baker's breakthrough, hitting the zeitgeist right as transgender issues were making big news and following two streetwalkers on a wild and unapologetic 24-hour tour through the Hollywood strip, and featuring incredible performances from first-time actresses Mya Taylor and Kitana Kiki Rodriguez. The pair were later part of the first Academy Award campaigns for openly transgender actresses. Now Baker follows-up TANGERINE with THE FLORIDA PROJECT, a fascinating ramble around the world of budget motels in Kissimmee, Florida. The film is mostly seen from the perspective of six year old Moonee, played by newcomer Brooklyn Prince and through her eyes, the rundown, kitschy motels and gaudy tourist traps seem just as enchanted as Disney's Magic Kingdom one town over. Her mother is played by Bria Vinaite who gives a downright feral performance as Moonee's loving but distracted mom and Willem Defoe exercises his compassionate side as the diplomatic motel manager Bobby. It's a film that vibrates with real life and its episodic quality allows the tightening dynamics of the plot to escape notice until its emotionally-tumultuous finale. It's also a film that captures childhood more vividly than any film in recent history as well as further exploring the themes of work, morality and people on society's fringes that is the hallmark of Baker's ever-more impressive filmography. I was given a chance to talk to Baker just before THE FLORIDA PROJECT screened at the Philadelphia Film Festival and when I saw the schedule I realized I was given 20 minutes just before Baker was due to walk on the festival's red carpet for a Saturday evening featured screening. I found Baker to be completely direct and unpretentious and would have loved to have him on for a more leisurely interview but as it was I was able to squeeze a few more minutes out of him for a half-hour of conversation. We talk about Baker's New Jersey roots, discovering Cassavetes, Ken Loach and the Dardenne Brothers, working with first-time actors, 70s Hollywood film, The Our Gang series, shooting on video and film and knowing how the movie is going to end. After the interview we'll go to an even more recent discussion with film critic Piers Marchant from PHILADELPHIA MAGAZINE and The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Piers and I get into a much more leisurely conversation, discussing Baker and THE FLORIDA PROJECT but also, BLADE RUNNER 2049, The Coen Brothers, George Lucas, the state of modern Hollywood and some of our favorite films of the 2017.
We speak to you amidst the dropping of the 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' trailer, and its subsequent ticket sale frenzy. Still, we review two films, 'The Florida Project' (Willem Dafoe, Brooklynn Prince, Bria Vinaite), and Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic, 'Blade Runner 2049' (Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Jared Leto). After a week of reflection, we talk about the passing of Tom Petty, and recommend Peter Bogdanavich's biopic, 'Running Down a Dream'; which can be found on Netflix. Anthony wants to be where the prostitutes and cops are, and Darren continues to fight disease.
In theaters October 6, 2017Set over one summer, the film follows precocious 6-year-old Moonee as she courts mischief and adventure with her ragtag playmates and bonds with her rebellious but caring mother, all while living in the shadows of Disney World.Starring: Willem Dafoe, Brooklynn Kimberly Prince, Bria Vinaite, Valeria Cotto, Christopher Rivera, Caleb Landry JonesWritten by: Sean Baker, Chris BergochDirected by: Sean BakerProduced by: Sean Baker, Chris Bergoch, Kevin Chinoy, Andrew Duncan, Alex Saks, Francesca Silvestri, Shih-Ching TsouCinematography: Alexis ZabeDistributed by: A24Runtime: 115 minutes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
