I haven't seen it. I've only seen Kids from Harmony Korine and I found it to be very gloomy and disturbing. Is this any good?

What's wrong with it? It looks really fun from the trailers.

This is not a fun film. At all. It's slow paced and very dream like, as well artsy. I felt the need to take a shower afterwards and the marketing got it all wrong. If you want fun see Project X. If you want a good, character driven crime drama see this. It's a sad version of Grand Theft Auto mixed with some modern party movie.

It's basically a poke at the teenage MTV generation though the temptation/Jesus theme is a bit pretentious. AmandaYoung can tell you all about that.

One of my favorite movies though. 9/10 for the cinematography, acting, the uncomfortable/disturbing feel and the soundtrack, as well for the AMAZING use of color.

Our heroines may show agency when they free themselves from the constraints of coed life, but they are also interchangeable party hounds who spend the entire movie in bathing suits (seriously, no one thinks to give them a towel even when they’re in court?). And it’s hard to extract a viable feminist message from a film when all its female characters are more akin to the daydream of a horny teenager who plays too many video games than actual human beings (I was half expecting them to have a pillow fight in their underwear at some point). They may not be victims, but their sexual liberation sure looks like it’s been torn from a straight man’s fantasy.

What’s more, in a case of life imitating art, the actresses playing these characters found their own sense of liberation in the process of sexifying the wholesome images imposed on them from years of acting on family friendly channels. These roles were freeing in that they allowed them to shed their oppressive good girl personas along with each successive layer of clothing, but when the Internet is ablaze with questions from guys regarding whether or not your boobs make a cameo in the final movie product — thereby reducing your sexual liberation to cheap entertainment — how empowering can this really be?

Spring Breakers wants to shield itself from criticism of misogyny by hiding behind a guise of irony and apparent contempt for whatever’s going on onscreen, but its posturing shouldn’t fool viewers into thinking it’s anything more than exploitation. Though the subject is viewed through the lens of contempt, the gaze is clearly male. And Spring Breakers’ array of bouncing boobs, kinky gender reversals, and neon bikinis is female empowerment only in the eyes of the middle-aged dude who directed it.
