- Marina Antunes @ Quiet Earth
- Excerpt: Grounded by heartfelt performances from breakout stars Brooklynn Prince as Moonee and new-comer Bria Vinaite whom Baker found via Instagram and who embodies vulnerability and strength in equal measures, The Florida Project is both one of the most joyous and heartbreaking movies I’ve seen so far this year.

- Excerpt: Whereas [American Honey] focused upon adults who have chosen this life, however, Baker’s look at an Orlando motel turned off-the-books permanent residence unfolds from the point of view of children. They don’t quite comprehend their parents’ struggle or the life of excess and entertainment down the road at Disney World. Instead they simply find the joy and fun in what they have.

- Excerpt: The Florida Project carefully entwines its narrative in a way that reveals the broad spectrum of life, of humanity, and of love. It’s a moving film that carefully guides you through a deceptively complex examination of the fringes of American life, without judgment or exploitation.
