The Beach Bum is a simplistic, aimless, amoral, deplorable, and stupid movie. It's also bizarre, goofy, shocking, pretty, and weirdly captivating. Harmony Korine (of Spring Breakers) brings his typical pseudo-gonzo directing style, but this time with more pizzazz, glitz, and—for lack of a better term—artistry. Mostly, I think Korine just told Matthew McConaughey to become a quasi-philosophical, self-absorbed lowlife, and then rolled the cameras as McConaughey chewed the scenery.
