Florida is a traditional character study that emphasizes classical narrative arcs over disrupting social norms. It focuses on the psychological impact of aging rather than critiquing systemic issues. The film successfully humanizes the experience of cognitive decline, providing a meaningful perspective on memory loss. However, this depth is offset by a lack of diversity in other areas. Overall, the production maintains a conventional framework, avoiding challenges to established hierarchies of race, gender, or identity, and focuses on the internal conflicts of a single family unit.
