Watch Spring For Free

Masterful Movie

Crappy film

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Ultimately a traditional love story, wrapped in Lovecraft, Spring is a terrific film. Solid direction, top-notch acting, subtle exposition and a unique script make this a memorable experience that begs to be revisited. Nadia Hilker is amazing. At the film's climax, the premise is so "out there", that there is no other option but to allow the characters to accept it and dive right in. Highly recommended.

Oh, the horror! I love indie movies, I love intellectual artsy movies, and I especially love psychological horror. Why didn't I like this critically acclaimed movie, then?Well, for starters, this movie is offensively dumb, and also in and of itself offensive(but in a dumb way). And it manages to not be particularly entertaining at the same time. Only in this world, in this specific time, with this specific view on women, can this be considered part of high culture, whilst the female equivalent(Twilight) is rightly considered to be what it is; unbelievably idiotic. I can't completely one-star it, because it's execution was original, and it didn't give me a headache in quite the same way Troll 2 did - but the plot, oh the plot! It's the kind of offensive story some drunk dude will tell you at a bar, and because he currently lacks the self-insight that would prevent it, he actually thinks stuff like this is categorized as "romance" - instead of the horribly misogynist, weirdly specific fantasy that it actually is. And you try to smile, because you can tell that he's just being self-involved, and not deliberately creepy, and you hope he's the only man who thinks like this. This is the horror movie equivalent of that. And to those that enjoy anti-PC culture and thinks it's hilarious, you will too be bored! It's a soft core angelic succubus fantasy romantic, and since the creators were not aware of the offensiveness, none of it was executed in a particularly blunt or hard-hitting way. As for the rest, (cinematography, music) it is equally meh. I'm not going to get further down to specifics, because there are other reviews for that(both the positive and negative reviews). I'm just going to say that I really did try to enjoy this and find the good parts, since people used to rave about it. But I came away with nothing. If not for the misogyny, I would've forgotten it immediately after.

Some okay cgi and pretty scenery. The acting and story was better than Resolution. Although that isn't saying much. Everything else was just drugs and unbelievable moments. I can't believe all the positive reviews. It's like a twenty something man- boy drug addict had a anime-related tentacle poem dream and thought, "I'm going to make a movie about that!" There is some attempt at making it "smart" with all the science garbage but it just doesn't come together.

Spring is an exquisite tale. A story of the innocent abroad meeting the wrong the only woman in true Henry James fashion, it uncoils along the Puglian coast in long, broad, carnal lapses that are as much satisfaction than longing for that inaccessible moment, the surrendering of self, the end of the world.Yes it has flaws, mostly useless CGI, but one guesses it is a 21st century thing, a bit like too much gilding in rococo or too many conversations sacrées during the Renaissance. Spring is as much about growing pains that it is about blossoming. But the acting is right and the camera work is fluid. What the story owes to Lovecraft is more than mitigated by things as simple as a bottle of wine, an olive tree, love lost and found.The best movie monsters are those one could actually love. Spring has such one, but holds much more. It has a prey that is human, full bodied and sweet as a Negroamaro. One can not foretell that at the beginning, when the film seems aiming at an Italian rendition of Hostel, but this rare feast is accomplished with near nothing, a bit of alien dialogue, a tree dying to allow the growth of a new one, and the moon over the ocean. It has, of course, the unspeakable, almost unfilmable splendor of Italy.A volcano is erupting at the end, but this is not what is really happening. A couple of sound effects does the trick.This is where the Rite of Spring has led us, gaping, the ocean rolling its indifferent waves, and we feel happy, and amazed, and wiped out. This is a lovely movie.
