The Bling Ring Reviews
The film is ultimately an analysis of fame, a theme that is recurrent in Coppola’s films. In this one, however, fame is a twofold element.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 14, 2024
Sofia Coppola's satirical look at a real-life gang of celebrity-obsessed teens still has plenty to say more than a decade since its release.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2024
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.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 31, 2023
As the time between 2008, 2013 and 2016 grows comparatively smaller, the film will only loom larger.

Fierce, fierce, fierce

Sofia Coppola + Emma Watson + Taissa Farmiga + Leslie Mann + Paris Hilton...do we need to say anymore?

A fascinating art-house glimpse of fame found, just not the fame the thieving teens sought. They are the robbers TMZ made famous, a group of kids who redefined narcissism in an already narcissistic town.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 31, 2021
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
The crimes are not nearly as glamorous, adventurous, or exciting as they could have been.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 3, 2020
Through her creative eye, Coppola is able to emphasise the 'fakeness' of the characters whose vapidness disappears when they commit their crimes, while capturing their unpolished refinement.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 25, 2019
Playing like the slow, dull sister of Spring Breakers, The Bling Ring exchanges neon decadence and teen sinning for vacant crimes of boredom. The take home message here isn't an indictment of modern celebu-worship so much as it is "eh, whatever."
| Original Score: C | Aug 27, 2019
It's a fun film and Coppola leaves the inexplicable up to us to ponder.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 8, 2019
A film that is as cold and callous as its subject matter. It's a calculated risk by Coppola, but one that ultimately works. I liked The Bling Ring, even if I felt dirty afterward.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 10, 2019
In her attempts to poke fun at the cult of celebrity, [Coppola]'s perhaps forgotten to allow us a character to truly identify with.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2019
The Bling Ring is basically the same thing over and over.
| Feb 22, 2019
The film is a rhetorical catastrophe. Coppola plays it like it's an ingenious satire throughout but it's really so obvious, so relentless and so leadenly portrayed
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2018
Coppola's view on the events feels too distant and simplified. The main characters we follow are severely lacking in depth, and they all just come off as shallow arseholes.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 1, 2018
The true entertainment is provided by Emma Watson's Nicki... If designer labels and club hopping aren't your cup of tea, it's almost worth watching for her performance alone.

It's taut, makes its point without hammering it home, well acted (particularly Emma Watson; I know!) and visually delicious.
