Spring Breakers

"Korine went to Florida as the ageing enfant terrible of arthouse independent cinema, his career in a cul-de-sac (...) He bounces back like a man possessed, rekitted as some 21st-century Russ Meyer (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"'Spring Breakers', beach-party fluff done as an art film by the reliably bizarre Harmony Korine, is a return to form for Franco (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Spring Breakers seems to be holding a funhouse mirror up to the face of youth-driven pop culture, leaving us uncertain whether to laugh, recoil in horror, or marvel at its strange beauty. All I knew is I couldn't wait to see it a second time." 

"Harmony Korine's first ''mainstream'' movie, Spring Breakers, is by far the best thing he's ever done." 

"A porn-pulp snort of derision at the American Dream (...) It has hypnotic visual style (...) It’s also too monotonous and thematically empty to be seriously provocative.

 

"[Mr. Korine] bores into a contested, deeply American topic — the pursuit of happiness taken to nihilistic extremes — but turns his exploration into such an (...) outrageously funny party (...) that this is more of a horror film than a comedy" 

"Spring Breakers is either an inspired satire of the youth movie or the most irresponsible comedy mainstream Hollywood will never make. The bros in your crowd will call it rad—and radical it is (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
