If The Florida Project hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: friendship, motel

The same preoccupation in both: growing up

Both are built on the same subject: growing up
The difference: Not nearly as warm as The Florida Project

One thread runs through both: friendship
The difference: Leans harder into romance than The Florida Project does

Two things both keep coming back to: parents and children and single mother
The difference: None of the warmth The Florida Project is built on

Both keep coming back to the same thing: parents and children

Both land stillness and warmth at once

Wistful drama, and it commits to that

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Warm drama in both cases

Both run wistful where it counts

Both sit in the same contemplative register
