  I don’t think this is as smart of a film as a lot of people think, nor do I think Korine was aiming for that. It’s just aged like fine wine and encapsulates a nightmarish ambience that I didn’t know I was afraid of until watching it.

  "y'all are my motherfucking soulmates."

  like a Ke$ha video directed by Terrence Malick (*Do* The Wonder?), a dubstep belly shot of the american nightmare. Forever.

  although, re the too-obvious Ke$ha reference above, Pussy Riot would also fit the bill (the Brony-baiting masks certainly raise that flag). first viewing was dominated by concerns with capitalism and carnal myopia, but i suspect that future visits will focus more on power dynamics and holy shit ashley benson.

  also, there's a show-stopping sequence at the film's mid-point that involves a piano and an unexpected pop song and... cinema forreeverrrrr

  Review by Eli Hayes ★★★★★ 10

  Possibly the best filmic social commentary I've ever seen.
  And for those of you who hate it, so be it. That's film.
  Some people connect with certain movies,
  And some people don't.
  I love satire, almost all satire,
  But I must admit...
  I think that I adore this film even more than Dr. Strangelove.
  I think that it's even MORE brilliant. And that's saying a lot.

  Then again,
  I like putting Korine's name up there next to Kubrick's... ;)

  Review by Larry ★★★★½ 22

  A beach party in the vein of Enter the Void. A mansion that glows pink like the neon letters in Drive. An hour and thirty minute party montage that oozes neon liquid and blares broken sound. A transcendent audiovisual trip into the depths of the American youth.

  Its Spring Break.

  Bitch.

  Compulsive trash humper and arthouse demigod Harmony Korine has somehow created one of the most visually and viscerally intense films of this generation. Uh huh. The film about Disney stars in bikinis is one of the most abrasive and colorful trips in recent cinematic history. Yes, youre reading that right. Spring Breakers is in your face and gets deep under your sunburt crispy skin; an abusive and addicting picture…

  Review by DirkH ★★★★ 38

  I'll be honest. The first time I saw this I hated it immensely. But I was also oddly intrigued. When I watched this it was in a theatre during a sneak preview and after about fifteen minutes the first people started to walk out. After about half an hour, about half the audience had left. Those that remained were noisy, disinterested and annoyed, venting their frustration on the film.

  In retrospect, this rubbed off on me and I guess I associated the experience with the film. But still those luring neon lights kept begging me to give it another watch. And when a mate of mine invited me to come over and watch what he called 'this generation's defining film',…
