Besides being cut of the Korine cloth in the best ways possible, there's nothing much else to say to a Korine fan. If you're happy with what he's done post-Gummo/Julien, and really dug Mister Lonely and Spring Breakers, you'll enjoy it all the same. If you're not predisposed to Korine, and aren't much into the style, you'll probably find it, quote, "boring", as the bad reviews have noted in more words. Korine is Korine is Korine ~ Gertrude Korine.… Expand

Beach bum is really the most spiritual movie that I've seen, it shows the meaningless of it all and a person who is 100% awake and had already let go of the ego self. this masterpiece won't get much rates and views because of course, the massBeach bum is really the most spiritual movie that I've seen, it shows the meaningless of it all and a person who is 100% awake and had already let go of the ego self. this masterpiece won't get much rates and views because of course, the mass population are busy with superheroes in 2019 but the movie is just as deep as it can be.… Expand

That was awesome experience. The film has a lot of funny moments and Matthew McConaughey acting is fantastic. I recommend this film with clean soul to everybody.

Man this film is hilarious. I don't know whether this guy is enlightened or a complete narcissist, but watching McConaughey swagger around for the duration obeying his every whim is an absolute joy. If the film trys to make any importantMan this film is hilarious. I don't know whether this guy is enlightened or a complete narcissist, but watching McConaughey swagger around for the duration obeying his every whim is an absolute joy. If the film trys to make any important points, for me it gets lost in the absolute farcical lunacy of some parts. It reminds me of a delicious blend between an Adam McKay and an Evan Goldberg film, just not stop humour and very sweet and touching in places. I'm certain we can all learn a lot from Moondog.… Expand

The tone remainsThis is easily Harmony Korine’s most accessible film yet. Led by McConaughey’s wonderful performance as Moondog, audiences find themselves drifting from one ridiculous encounter to the next in one of 2019’s funniest films. The tone remains consistently fun and engaging, even if the film loses its footing in a couple of scenes or moments hold for just a little too long. The different characters Moondog comes in contact with on this journey help make it memorable and it’s clear that this is the closest we’ve come so far to an “arthouse-stoner” movie. Wild, creative, and very entertaining.  Grade: B… Expand
