A monotonous, painful, linear bore of a movie, Coppola almost seems to glamorize the very thing she thinks she's satirizing. Or is this even satire?

Or is this even satire? It's hard to tell, because there is no point of view, no attitude, no angle, just an hour and a half of vapid, unlikeable teens walking into unlocked homes and repeated slo-mo shots of them at clubs until they are easily caught and the movie ends. If she had thought to include a postscript at the end it would have been the most interesting thing in the film.… Expand

One of the lamest movies I've ever seen. If you paid money to see this, then they robbed you too. I fell asleep trying to watch this garbage, twice!

Kind of an amoral send-up of the sorts of pretentious teens that are inspired by the glitz and glamour culture of the current decade, where everything is surface and nothing matters.

However, it goes too far into not casting judgement, letting the viewer believe that the conspirators were in some sense victims themselves, rather than decidedly amoral.
In all, it feels like this somewhat dry, drawn-out film does little to influence the kind of culture it is trying to depict, and may or may not be successful in de-glamourising it. Enough said.
One wonders if Sofia Coppola's upbringing did little to extend her outside of the bounds of hollywood shallowness, and whether 'Lost in Translation' is her only exercise into the semi-autobiographical unknown.… Expand

One of the worst movies ever made. Almost as bad as The International. Watson was cringeworthy.

This is the sort of film where you get the impression that someone saw a news story, thought "That'll make a great movie" and then spent a lot of money to discover that it doesn't.

I wasn't expecting much with this movie but wow, the Bling Ring is really a stinker. First of all, even though it's only 90 minutes long, which is pretty short, it feels like it drags on and on the entire time. The cinematography wasI wasn't expecting much with this movie but wow, the Bling Ring is really a stinker. First of all, even though it's only 90 minutes long, which is pretty short, it feels like it drags on and on the entire time. The cinematography was horrendous with the overuse of the slow-motion effects. The acting wasn't bad but none of the roles required much either. The characters were all pretty shallow as well. Yes, they're supposed to be but other than Emma Watson's character, none of them felt authentic. Speaking of Emma, she is the only reason this film is worth watching. She's smoking hot and delivers a solid performance. I think this film does shine a light on the repercussions of celebrity obsession but the movie doesn't take advantage of that message, instead focusing almost entirely on stealing, doing drugs, and partying in slo-mo. Sofia Coppola missed the mark here, that's for sure.… Expand

Disappointment, thy name is Emma. While it may not be fair to single out one actor from this ensemble class, she is the highest profile of the crew, and thus a box office draw card.

While it may not be fair to single out one actor from this ensemble class, she is the highest profile of the crew, and thus a box office draw card. This film won't convince anyone of her acting ability, but, to be fair, that's scarcely her fault. The Bling Ring suffers from an execrable script that allows for absolutely no character development. The characters are not particularly likeable, it's unclear why they do what they do, and between them they seem light on intelligence. You burgle celebrity homes and don't expect security cameras. Doh!… Expand

I was so excited for this film and what a let down it turned out to be. It got boring, it gets 1.5 for the music and 1.5 for the stars but otherwise it was rubbish.

The Bling Ring

There isn't any room for drama, characters and for that matter plot tracks, for its all crime, all illegal, all the time. The scrutiny hits hard and fast and neither is shot appropriately to connect with the viewers. The writing is basically just news, it might be accurately infomercial, but there is no structure in the script that befalls and sets each piece in the puzzle. Addition to that, it isn't convoluted as the makers think which makes it more disappointing. A feature like this coming from Sofia Coppola is the biggest shock, as there is not a single piece of craft to explore in here and neither is the execution up to its mark. On performance level, the young actors are exhaustingly annoying as they sweat through the whole course of the feature, with all their effort to make a difference. The technical aspects are not appropriately done especially sound department and editing; it could have been supervised a lot better. It is a downright fumbling valley and the primary reason is the material that it walks on which isn't concrete. The Bling Ring is expensive at all cost, to the makers, actors and even the audience.… Expand
