  Spring Breakers 2012

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  unfortunately thought this rocked quite a bit. takes a premise and commits to fully fleshing out through atmosphere. one of the most nightmarish and trippy cinema-going experiences i've had, especially on imax! there's a poetry to it in my eyes. the sensory overload of edm music, fast montages of the spring breakers' debauchery, and the contrast with the slower and quieter meditative moments. and an absolutely electric britney spears needle drop. on one hand, i wish that the girls were…
