For a while, the girls' personalities seem almost interchangeable, but that's part of the texture. Katie Chang gives the leader a ripe synthetic glow, and Emma Watson does a remarkable job of demonstrating that glassy-eyed insensitivity need not be stupid. Read full review

The movie captures a moment when the lines separating anonymity, fame, and notoriety are finer than ever. And as Watson’s social climber prattles on to reporters about what a great “learning lesson” her criminal experience has been, it’s easy to see another star in the making. Read full review

Coppola’s uproarious and bitingly timely film feels every inch a necessary artwork. Read full review

This is a movie that cries out for more than the too-cool-for-school Coppola’s trademark hipster anomie. She may be too much a part of the celebrity-mongering world she portrays to do justice to its injustices. Read full review

The Bling Ring is the cinematic equivalent of the vapid, superficial kids it features — all visual panache and minimal substance. Read full review

Coppola’s attitude toward her subject seems equivocal, uncertain; there is perhaps a smidgen of social commentary, but she seems far too at home in the world she depicts to offer a rewarding critique of it. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

Jun 13, 2013

Narratively static and morally banal. That may be par for the course, however, when half the movie is spent watching shallow kids try on other people’s clothes. Read full review

But many people did not like it, maybe because of satirical presentation which was more like a documentary style than typical. Music was another drawback, actually there were no background score except those disco musics that come very often.

I have not seen the television version movie of this story of same name. But Sofia Coppolo was successful making an another movie about female oriented subject. For me the surprise was the characters and their behaviours, especially I was thinking the real ones not from the movie. They were aware of what they are doing even the consequences, but they did not care any of that. At some moment it looked like a kids play without any seriousness of life.

Glad this movie was made and I saw because newspapers from other than this region of the world won't quote about it. So people might miss something like this about their favourite Hollywood celebrities who encounter in reality. Again, this movie is not for everyone, probably if you from outside United States you may like it. Only by a small margin as a movie that's based on the real events.… Expand

The movie was passable entertainment for the evening but left the viewer with a mildly sour taste about the depth of character in the story and the acting. An interesting subject matter to tackle but not one of Sophia Coppola's best efforts.

Muy trillada Bostezaba esperando el final con ansias .
Es necesaria la sobre exposición de Emma Watson por el simple hecho de ser EMMA WATSON?
Ni siquiera se desarrolla la historia de otros personajes principales. La dirección de Sofia Coppola es bastante pobre, nada para acotar. NoMuy trillada Bostezaba esperando el final con ansias .
