The Bling Ring

What to Know

Critics Consensus

While it's certainly timely and beautifully filmed, The Bling Ring suffers from director Sofia Coppola's failure to delve beneath the surface of its shallow protagonists' real-life crimes.

Kerensa Cadenas Bitch Media Sofia Coppola is arguably one of the best filmmakers to capture the achingly annoying experience of being stuck in an arrested state (especially as a teenager). Jan 15, 2021 Full Review J. Hoberman ARTINFO.com The Bling Ring is basically the same thing over and over. Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator It's taut, makes its point without hammering it home, well acted (particularly Emma Watson; I know!) and visually delicious. Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies While The Bling Ring might be attempting to say something about the culture in 2013, it's the least impressive film in Sofia Coppola's filmography. Rated: 3/5 Dec 31, 2023 Full Review Marshall Shaffer Vague Visages As the time between 2008, 2013 and 2016 grows comparatively smaller, the film will only loom larger.

Deborah B In my opinion this is not worth anyone's time. It's annoying and unrealistic. The TV movie of the same name, made two years previous is better. I don't like Coppola as a director at all, and most of the performances were vapid. Only stand out was Emma Watson. She really stole every scene she was in, but sadly could not make up for the poor script and direction. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Micky prescott P I liked how the movie developed the way these kids were slowly spiraling out of control with there various crimes which started as small petty theft and then developed in large expensive robberies of various celebrities. Some of the characters were annoying at times but I think that’s a good think because us as the audience aren’t supposed to sympathize with the people because at the end of the day their just not good people. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Jeff M Sofia Coppola movies are a rather acquired taste, as her minimalist approach often leaves movie-goers bored or underwhelmed. But she is probably one of my top five favorite directors working today, and while this doesn't reach the heights of her masterpiece LOST IN TRANSLATION, this is still a fantastic movie and probably one of the best representations of the 21st century obsession with fame that I've seen. The young cast does a rather remarkable job considering that this could have easily gone overboard into camp and over exaggeration. It's amazing that this is based upon true events and somewhat disturbing that they were able to get away with their crimes as long as they did. Coppola's storytelling is succinct and matter-of-fact, and she somehow manages to make us care at least a little bit for these characters whose attitudes and actions are borderline despicable. You won't agree with what they did, but you may leave the movie understanding how easy it was for these young people to become addicted to the lifestyle. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Liliana P A really uncomfortable movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Gavin O Good story, decent acting, but boring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review F S I personally didn't like it. I'm an action and adventure kind of guy, yes there was some action but then again it wasn't the one I'm accustomed to. I'm more of a Jason statham movies type, like transporter… that, that movie gets me going Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
