Harmony Korine is like the bizarro Terrence Malick. Dayglo hedonism and hallucinatory editing. It's Girls Gone Wild for the arthouse crowd.

With Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers, cinema as you know it will be turned upside down by the innovative Pan Down to Titty technology. Any time you think a scene couldn't get more gratuitous or dull, Pan Down to Titty ensures that it remains gratuitous and dull - now synchronized with Skrillex drops and well-timed nudity. Pan Down to Titty is proud to be a partner with Slo-Mo Ass Clap and Bright Ass Lights © movie magic.

Was it saying something about the commodification of urban black culture, watering it down and packaging it up with this cornball white dude (courtesy of Franco as a less colorful Riff Raff) so it can be sold to beachbound college girls for stupid amounts of money? Or do I just feel guilty because I got drunk at Floatopia once and accidentally enjoyed Macklemore? Either way this movie was really aesthetically pleasing.

Eccentric pop art cinema, full of fun and hilarity but with a surprising sense of pathos. An ironic and subversive satire about young America's materialistic dreams of being anything but midwestern mundane. It's ultimately something disturbing and melancholic, but all the same a total blast, largely edited into beautiful montage with blood-pumping soundtrack.

CRINGE. I have this suspicion that all these great reviews are from 20 yr olds or less. Everyone else sees it for what it is. Crap. This movie has 50 minutes of original footage. The rest is repetitive and annoying flash-forwards and flashbacks all the fucking time, the same boobies keep coming up. Changing it to black and white or neon colors doesn't make it different boobies. If you have an attention span of 30 seconds or less you might actually enjoy this. Otherwise, stay clear.

A paean to youthful hedonism that revels in debauchery, criminality and excess while never losing sight of the bittersweet transience of adolescence. It might feel like it's never gonna end, but one way or another, it has to; all you can do is fight, fuck and party the best you can before it fades away. Franco is hilarious and endearing, the girls are badass despite their vulnerability, and the "Everytime" montage is the best pop music montage in decades. Spring break forever.

Two hours of tits does not a movie make. Also, if you write a character that exists only as a black jester, and then have James Franco play the part, it does not make it funny, nor does it make it cease to be racist. I understand that this movie is supposed to be reproducing tropes for the sake of making them ridiculous. But the thing is, you've still reproduced the tropes. In the end, this movie is two hours of objectifying shots of women, and black people getting murdered by white people.

The sexuality in this film is displayed in the form of garish neon and crude hedonism. It's all about the usual things such as disaffected youth and cultural nihilism. The topic itself tends to be overdone in film but Korine injects lots of odd surrealist qualities to it. It's almost hypnotic at times and Franco as a white trash gangster is an amusing representation of the sort of bitches and money thug culture idolized. Korine really gets the underbelly of America, especially Florida.

This was absolutely amazing. Korine takes his usual style of direction and translates into a more mainstream context; the result is the most exhilarating film I've ever seen. Spring Breakers (which does include a plot, thanks Harmony!) hooked me in from the first frame. The film is so beautiful, I can still remember dozens of shots, embroidered with neon and accompanied by an equally incredible score. Acting can be a little weak, but it's not an issue. This is a film, man, engaging and gorgeous.

What an odd film. Much of the action is seen through quite a lecherous eye. Wasn't sure I fully grasped whatever ideas or satire it had at its core, and the characters and their motivations weren't particularly well defined. That said, it looked great, with some fine use of colour in the photography and it held my attention. Franco was good value for money. I didn't care for the ending. A garish and often intriguing effort. Tempted to check out Korine's other films.

I've gotten high at approximately 3-4 of the set-locations of this film. Florida-raised, bitches. In a 2010 Q and A, Harmony Korine said: "I knew a guy who got aids in Sarasota and then went back the next year, fucked the same dude, and the aids disappeared".

It won't win the oscar for best script, but I loved Spring Breakers anyway for 4 different reasons: James Franco perfomance, the soundtrack&music editing, the great visual style it has (!), and last but not least: seeing the childstars in a different role. Korine uses flashbacks and repetitive sounds alot, which doesn't always work but overall it does. 2 of my favorite scene's in the movie: the first robbery with the circling car and Franco performing Everytime by Britney Spears.

An innovative, visually stunning neo-noir, as impressive as Lewis' "Gun Crazy" or Ferrara's "King of New York." Not only its outrageous colors but also its musical structure--the use of repetition and variation to highlight the "melody" of its set pieces--give the film a hyper-real quality that is never far away from our darkest dreams. And Franco is superb as "Alien," in a performance that, though as mannered as "Jack Sparrow," unlike "Jack Sparrow" rings true and hits close to the bone.

This continues in the Badlands/Natural Born Killers tradition of commenting on American media and violence; this time using this generation and social media. Korine has strong views on race, violence, and sex--often illustrated at the expense of placing himself between the screen and the audience. Still, he gets great performances from Disney princesses, and uses an amazing Skrillex soundtrack. A good conversation starter, although the ending is uncomfortable in a post-Aurora/Newtown world.

Feel free to ignore anyone who tells you otherwise: Spring Breakers is the first unequivocal sign of life from cinema in 2013. God, it feels good to watch a movie with a VOICE for the first time since... Zero Dark Thirty, I guess? The plot is nothing spectacular, nor are the characters aside from Alien, but the mix of its use of color and editing and its incredible soundtrack yields several scenes of pure, intoxicating cinematic poetry.

Werner Herzog once said something about how we as a civilization need new images. Korine tries to provide more than almost any contemporary filmmaker and this is what this is. This film is unapologetic yet sincere, savage yet weirdly nostalgic, poetic yet grotesque, satiric yet bracingly realistic and immediate. This is a film that I greatly admire but can totally empathize with others hating it. Whether you appreciate it or not, I strongly believe that films like this need to be made and seen.

A sexy, hypnotic, pulsating and utterly bizarre descent into the empty hedonism at the heart of our modern society. The electro-pop soundtrack, use of repetition, and neon color palette combine to emphasize the dreamlike (or, nightmarish) nature of the film.

You know, if you've ever followed my reviews I am a massive Korine nuthugger, but this is his first movie that actually made me feel sad. I always love his movies, I love what he does, but the Britney Spears scene is fantastic and made me laugh and feel sad... Also, that James Franco monologue, man... so many great things about this. Gunshot scene changes, tits, funky colours, passion, humour, amazing cinematography and some social commentary to boot (I think). I need more characters.

An exhilarating, ambient live wire of a movie that's unlike anything else you'll see all year. Stunningly beautiful and disorienting--as well as scathing and benign--in equal measure. It's about shallow, self-obsessed people in a shallow, self-obsessed society, and its fantastically baroque visual style matches its tone perfectly--definitely one to see, hear, and experience in a theater, as close to the screen as possible. It's awesome and dizzying. Drink it in.

MAJOR points for the most random Jeff Jarrett appearance ever. That's J-E-double-F, J-A-double-R-E-double-T. I love the juxtaposition of Catholicism against drug use, and the unadulterated passion of the "stereotypical" party. I love how this movie looks and feels. It's beautifully shot and arranged. James Franco OWNS this movie. I can see why people could find some dialogue or segments annoying or weird, or dare I say, "bad". But to me, it's deliciously over-the-top and just plain amazing.

Worth seeing for a bravura performance from James Franco as a gold-toothed gangsta. Otherwise it amounts to watching four young girls prance around in bikinis and getting into trouble with the law - all intercut with slow-mo shots of spring break mayhem.

Harmony Korine looks for his own ways of conveying feelings and vibes, and if an abnormal narrative style and disjointed editing are what it takes - so be it. Spring Breakers will probably shatter some viewers' expectations, but this viewer found it to be an edgy and erotic piece of art with a pretty awesome soundtrack.

A surreal portrait of American youth, candy-colored but steeped in darkness. As the title suggests, Korine contemplates both the magic and the horror of 'Spring Break' - of this strange, massive, sex-fueled, drug-crazed ritual that occurs once a year down in Florida - and, in the end, has plenty to say about its social implications. Even if you don't attempt to read into it, it's a wild, brilliantly photographed, ride.

Harmony Korine paints this kind of surrealistic portraiture of something I'd otherwise treat shallowly. His scripts won't be smart, he'll never be flattering towards his characters, for they serve somewhat satyrico-allegorical purposes. Here, I love the emphasis on the "teen lifelustsexpower drive" as naiive college girls' means in their struggles to be un-ordinary, to make for themselves a life as in a movie or a videogame. Eros&thanatos in neon and cottoncandy, in Britney Spears and dubstep.

A hallucinatory dive into party culture and a descent into crime, reflecting the american ideal through its own twisted, ironic way. Perhaps a bit too loose with its emotional arc, especially towards the end, but the thick application of tone more than makes up for it. Also, Franco is amazing. LOOK AT MY SHEYIT!

Spring Breakers is a stark satire of the American millennial which juxtaposes the narcissistic, indulgent party bubble that is Spring Break with the crushing (and often) brutal and uncomfortable reality that exists outside that bubble. It's a dark and disturbing satire that's not afraid to shock the viewer with gratuitous nudity that takes on an exploitative and voyeuristic bend via the camera. With that said, James Franco is great in the film. It's like a crazy fevered dream.

There are moments of true discomfort and achingly wonderful satire. They are however few and far between and mostly what you watch is a hyper glossed music video with the shittiest of music and the most awful repeating voice over. Truly almost unwatchable at points. Korine is obsessed with showing us things we already know.

Like Bling Ring, Spring Breakers is a hazy, impressionistic, morally ambiguous take on the nihilistic-youth-gone-wild theme, but unlike Coppola, Korine at least has the balls to take the picture where it needed to go, even if the end result is not completely satisfying. While it's appropriately dreamy, the prosaic subject matter seems tame for Korine who, like his mentor Herzog, is far more interesting when venturing out into the wilderness of human experience.

A movie made for (or at least marketed towards) an audience that hates it, probably because it functions as a mirror for them. While that may not exactly be high praise, I will say that this movie has the greatest intelligence/awareness of youth culture since The Social Network. "Just fuckin pretend it's a video game.."

Sometimes stupid, often brilliant and always hypnotic: I can't say I've seen anything like it. Haters I've noticed are either the very people the film depicts (who I guess saw this movie expecting a pure guilty pleasure) or people who desperately wish those other people never existed. I could listen to James Franco talk about his shit all day.

Spring break as a hedonistic hellscape. Spring break as true, unbridled freedom. Korine manages to make both equally valid in this, which balances a ton of different moods at once and never lets a single plate fall. From the strange exhilaration of the more upbeat scenes to the affectionate sadness that permeates the in-between, culminating with the Everytime scene, which straight-up smashes both halves together to create one of the best scenes in recent cinema history. Franco is hilarious.

One can see well enough what the filmmaker is aiming for: to concoct a fever dream as a way of exploring, but not quite condemning, the nihilism of contemporary youth, but the characters, narrative and dialogue are not sufficiently interesting to really draw the audience into the dream state. No doubt the notion of being “interesting” is somewhat antithetical to the intention here, but nevertheless something about it does not quite work.

Spring Breakers is a filthy hyper-stimulating trash of a film with uncensored music videos spliced throughout it. The conflict between morality and immorality, and the resulting loss of teen innocence is a theme that you think would present itself quite naturally in a film about four girls making a trip to Florida for Spring Break. However, none of the plot devices function in a fluid fashion and everything about them and their enactors seems forced including a hackneyed use of foreshadowing.

A lot can be said but I'm going to focus on the duality of tone Korine creates - almost everything in the movie is at once bright, colorful, and indulgent in a fun hedonistic atmosphere - a break from reality, but also nightmarish and dark - the dreamy structure, the repetition of lines and sounds, the fantastic Britney Spears montage, it can make you laugh or cry. While you can dissect the themes, I find it more important that Korine throws you into this world in total earnest. Brilliant.

I think the appeal of Harmony Korine's movies is that they appear to be made by a (pardon my French) retard-savant.

Abominable. Having an atmospheric soundtrack, artistic cinematography and repeating lines of dialogue over and over don't equate a profound film. For that there needs to be some quality and this film is lacking it in all departments, aside from the visual style, I did enjoy the neon colours. Most notably the writing was terrible, as was the acting. The plot and character development are absent and the characters are annoying and uninteresting. It fails as social commentary and as film.

It starts as a over-the-top party movie and then has a wicked swerve to bring in some violence; it ends up being a great satire of what our society has created as a "dream" that young girls feel they have to experience. The color palette is great, and the soundtrack is perfect for the film. It was good - but then when the scene with Britney Spears' "Everytime" came on I realized I was watching something special.

Appearently it made me feel like I'm a moron who doesn't understand a good piece of art, just because I couldn't stand to see a 94 minutes long MTV video which shows many many boobies, drugs, naked girls, boozes and guns over and over again. What Korine does here is to show us the lost generation turned into, that's for sure. What he doesn't realize is that he also turns his very own movie to an emotionless and meaningless piece of garbage. Sorry I'm not buying it. If this is art, not for me.

Bold, honest, technically impressive, and completely entertaining. Korine's use of color creates a vibrant world of kinetic selfish hedonism. It's a strange decent into sin that somehow is able to not take itself too seriously. All the girls do a fabulous job, but it's Franco who shines. This is the best performance of his career. Harmony Korine makes movies that superficially appear simple, but really are biting indictments of our culture. Spring Breakers is no exception.

Freedom's just another word for everything left to steal. "We really found ourselves, it was a spiritual experience", means the world turns into a hedonistic video game where you'll never have to answer to anyone ever again.

I've got "Everytime" playing on loop because it's now officially an anthem of a kind of bizarre, exuberant, youthful elation that I now feel I'm just barely on the cusp of understanding for the last time before I turn into a square. What better metaphor for seduction and sin, what greater modern impression of Gomorrah is there than a hyper-charged, fantastical expression of this weird American dream we call Spring Break? It gets youth on the nose: doing the wrong thing is the right thing.

A well made film that is clearly not going to be for everyone. It has violence, nudity and is by no means a happy movie, concentrating on degradation and seediness of the whole spring break phenomena. The use of vibrant and bright colours contrasting with the dark and dank of night is very well done. The main characters are basically acted out fine, especially Franco in his over the top and wacky role.

Spring Breakers is possibly the most overrated film of 2013. It seems to have completely divided opinion and personally I thought it was a horrible experience. James Franco arguably gives his strongest and most dynamic performance to date. The four girls however are truly awful. And other than some attractive cinematography the wrest of the film can only be described as ugly. The constant sex, drugs and exploitation of excessive partying appallingly amounts to absolutely nothing.

Satire is my bread and butter and this was great satire. I appreciated the skewering of a culture that I participate in a little too much. Some great dark comedy as well as some profoundly uncomfortable moments. Franco gave his best performance to date, reminiscent of Gary Oldman in True Romance. The two knocks were that the story didn't drive forward very well and there was some really annoying repetition of dialogue.

More positives and interesting elements than the negatives. A seemingly empty movie that's a spectacle but manages to create memorable moments.

Korine has given up edgily poking his nose where it doesn't belong and has finally found something relatable to say. The result is an expressionistic depiction of teenage life as seen through the modern male gaze. Korine's sincerity results in a film that unpretentiously reveals unspoken truths about about the human condition. Like The Comedy, it's a movie made by someone who looks at the world with an unflinching eye and tells you exactly what they see.

After a rewatch, Spring Breakers has me more polarized than I first was. I more fully appreciate the aesthetic qualities Korine brings to the film, but its message and thematics seem more muddled than I originally thought, making the end product feel unfocused even with its short length. There are some good performances to be had as well, but because of the simple delivery of what seem to be complex ideas the film as a whole feels flat and underdeveloped.

The best movie I've seen in years. Pinpoints the dark undercurrent running beneath suburban ennui and the pop culture industry. Frighteningly beautiful, beautifully frightening.

Shite. The only watchable bit is Franco going over the top with the "look at my shit" scene

Harmony Korine's best film by far. Impressionistic, hallucinogenic, and brave. Will confuse and disappoint the hell out of anyone picking this up hoping for some standard teen spring break flick.

The first third of this movie is like an outrageous spring break party fantasy. The script is bad and over the top. The actors try their best but the material is ludicrous. The final of the film is over the top and unbelievable. Clearly you should avoid watching this movie.

I heard that this film was a smart movie masquerading as exploitative trash. That said I expected heavy symbolism and plenty of pandering to the audience. What I got was something that took a while to digest and appreciate. There's a lot of thoughts in this movie about the American Dream and the reckless pursuit of material and hedonistic wealth, but it is so well integrated into the medium that it takes a while to separate the meaning from the imagery. It's really the contemporary Great Gatsby

I will not look at your shit, Alien. (Not in boxes, not with foxes.)
