"Neon bright and all raw energy, Spring Breakers is a pulsating paradox of a movie, both a tangerine dream and a cultural reality check, a pop artifact that simultaneously exploits and explores the shallowness of pop artifacts."
- Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
"A candy-colored fever dream is the most unforgettable movie of the year so far."
- Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
"[Korine] turns his exploration into such a gonzo, outrageously funny party that it takes a while to appreciate that this is more of a horror film than a comedy."
- Manohla Dargis, New York Times
"All I knew is I couldn't wait to see it a second time."
- Scott Foundas, Village Voice

"Enter the Void displays a dizzying virtuosity with the cinema of altered states."
- Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
"A strong contender for both the artiest drug movie and the druggiest art movie ever made, Gaspar Noé's tour de force of forced perspectives and free-form grief is, in every sense of the word, a trip."
- David Fear, Time Out New York
"A mash-up of the sacred, the profane, and the brain-dead, Enter the Void is addictive."
- Karina Longworth, Village Voice
"[Noe is] using pure cinema and not just cheap exploitation tricks to make an impact."
- Manohla Dargis, New York Times

Synopsis of SPRING BREAKERS courtesy of a24 Films:
From visionary director Harmony Korine comes a bold new vision of the seasonal American ritual known as spring break the bacchanalia of bikinis, beach parties and beer bongs that draws hordes of college students to the Florida coast and elsewhere each year. Brit (Ashley Benson), Faith (Selena Gomez), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) are best friends anxious to cut loose on their own spring break adventure, but they lack sufficient funds. After holding up a restaurant for quick cash, the girls head to the shore in a stolen car for what they discover is the party of a lifetime. They're thrown in jail but quickly bailed out by Alien (James Franco), a local rapper, drug pusher and arms dealer who lures them into a criminal underbelly that's as lurid as it is liberating for a close-knit gang of girlfriends who are still figuring out their path.In the tradition of the landmark KIDS and GUMMO, Harmony Korine unleashes a ferocious, feverish and furiously alive youth quake examining the sights, sounds and sensory overload of a new generation of restless youth. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast, hypnotic visuals by the cinematographer Benoît Debie (ENTER THE VOID, IRREVERSIBLE, THE RUNAWAYS) and a hallucinatory musical score by Cliff Martinez (DRIVE) and Skrillex, SPRING BREAKERS is an electrifying pop poem to girls gone wild from the enfant terrible of teenage kicks. This film has been rated R for strong sexual content, language, nudity, drug use and violence throughout.
