Spring Break forever.

Spring Breakers will bomb at the box-office. Mainstream audiences and crowds of teens looking for mindless entertainment will hate it. But for film goes who truly appreciate film as art, visual storytelling over linear A-B-C plots, and especially Harmony Korine fans, will love this. This is probably Korine's greatest film since Gummo or Julien-Donkey Boy, and might be the best film he's ever made. The cast is great all around (which I was surprised by) but it's Franco who really takes the cake (or smashes your face into it.) He's goes all the way into a fearless, funny, scary, and unforgettable performance. Ultimately, Spring Breakers is a hypnotic visual feast with a lot more on its mind than boobs and bikinis, though there is certainly a lot of that as well. If you are a fan of Korine or just want something a little different (and dazzling) don't miss Spring Breakers. The first great film of 2013.
