    Spring Breakers

    ★★★★

    Before Brat Summer, we had Spring Breakers.

    More than a decade later, it feels less like satire and more like prophecy. Harmony Korine saw where we were headed: a USA where the American Dream is just machine guns and designer clothes, at the expense of everyone around you.

    The girls treat crime like a study-abroad program, indulging in violence to escape the ennui of their privileged lives. The scene where they tune out a lecture on the Double V campaign…

    Still amazes me how well Soderbergh can float between film genres.

    Fun and sexy spy movie. Perfect run time. Not a second wasted.

    This felt like it would’ve been a spy drama made in the early 00s.

    Loved the musical score, Massive Attack and Portishead vibes.

    Edit: just remembered how gorgeous that opening long take was

    dollar store Almodóvar. I feel gross even comparing it to Almodóvar’s oeuvre.

    is this gonna be Gen Z’s Crash? Why is this getting so much Oscar buzz? It is straight up trash.

    Insensitive to trans people and their experiences, surface-level representation of Mexican culture. Plays in all the stereotypes imaginable.

    The surgery song is going to haunt my mind forever. All these songs feel like they are AI-generated.

    what a waste of 2 hours.

    genuinely hilarious and also miserably sad, incredible how quickly this film switched from slapstick to pure anguish.

    we love our big, beautiful goons, don’t we?
