Willem Dafoe is the manager of a motel in Florida that also doubles as a permanent residency (not officially) for people on the lower rungs of society. This film focuses on the story of one child in particular, Moonee, and all the lives of those people most important to her.
There is no plot to this movie at all. It's just about a couple of months of these people's lives.
Dafoe is awesome. Ditto for Bria Vinaite who plays Moonee's mom. The acting of everyone else varies, sometimes from scene to scene.
This was an awards show darling, and I get it. There's a lot of good stuff here and it's worth seeing one time.
