Spring Breakers blends stinging social commentary with bikini cheesecake and a bravura James Franco performance.

Adam Nayman The Ringer 03/25/2023
Whether [it] is a great movie or an uncommonly accomplished bit of fraudulence is an eye of the beholder thing, but there’s something to be said for a film that somehow captures and enshrines an era’s attention-deficit aesthetic... Go to Full Review Brittani Nichols Autostraddle 06/15/2021
Is it social commentary on today's young adult culture? I don't see how. Is it satire? I surely wish it was. Instead this was an earnest try at something...I don't know what. Go to Full Review J. Hoberman The New York Review of Books 03/08/2019
Spring Breakers is a crowd-pleaser, although given its confounding creepiness, the crowd it pleases most is surely the forty-year-old filmmaker's intellectual fan base. Go to Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn 05/09/2025

I don't know who this was for. The actors clearly committed but this movie was all over the place. Go to Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn 05/09/2025

There are some interesting moments and great shots in this film, but the whole thing never fully came together for me. Harmony Korine could've used a bit more structure to make this more coherent. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 05/06/2023
It’s Bonnie and Bonnie and Bonnie and Clyde with Day-Glo color, teen exhibitionism, and gangsta street violence, with a pop music score and a hip-hop mixmaster soundtrack and editing style. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David O 03/20/2025 way more art house than initially anticipated. See more Jesse 03/20/2025 Put this in theaters every spring break. See more Matt 03/20/2025 SELENA GOMEZ!!! That’s the movie. See more James K @Jimbo511 Jul 20 Very unique movie!! Loved it See more Test T @TestTest1 Jul 14 I watched this on DVD and very nearly turned it off 30 minutes in. Don't! It gets much better and starts to make sense. By the end I really liked it and was sad it had finished. This movie is very cool and different. Recomended. See more Josh E @RT20173376 Jun 9 How this movie is anywhere above 10% on the tomatometer is beyond me. Sub par acting from everyone in this movie especially James Franco. Does not play the white gangster role as well as he thinks he does. All star cast of Franco, Gomez and Hudgens. This movie missed every mark it was supposed to hit. "Spring Break Forever Bitches" more like gouge my eyes out forever. Would not recommend. See more Read all reviews
