THE DEADLINE TEAM

Sight & Sound, John Waters Name The Top Ten Films Of 2013

Their movie reviews have all described Spring Breakers as a “fever dream” of one sort or another. Well over a dozen reviewers outdid themselves but all seemed to experience a specifically heightened dream state. Additional descriptions strung together randomly for your reading convenience include a candy-colored orgy of sun-dappled debauchery, a depraved visual and aural blast of sex, drugs and dubstep with gunplay, body shots and girls gone wild.
