Review of Spring Breakers (2013) by Bfoore90 — 16 Nov 2016
Spring Breakers has always been a bit of a polarizing movie and with good reason but you can't deny that this is a very surreal film with a subliminal message reflecting on modern-day superficiality and the youth of our nation's obsession with highly stylized pop culture media being so focal in their lives.
The acting from the 5 leads is also very superb with a truly out of the box performance by James Franco. I can see where people can be skeptical of this movie, most will walk into it viewing as something similar to Project X or SuperBad with Selena Gomez trying to shed her good girl Disney image but its not nearly at all like that.
Its polarizing but in the end, its also brilliant with Harmony sucking you in with visually enticing cinematography with a oddly hypnotic aura mixed in with a neon fused and techno filled score by Skrillex and Cliff Martinez.
It can be said that this film is like scar face meets good, country girl Taylor Swift or Taxi Driver on Heroin and adderal, if you're into potential cult classics with an art house feel and subliminal genius then this movie is for you.
