The Bling Ring Movie Reviews
“The Bling Ring is a sly, often hilarious and at times sobering look at
the 21st century fascination with celebrities.” Chicago Sun Times
“Girls meets Ocean’s Eleven, The Bling Ring might be a film for
right now rather than the ages, but Sofia Coppola’s heist movie is visually
arresting, well acted, capricious fun.” Empire
“Coppola’s uproarious and bitingly timely film feels every inch a
necessary artwork.” The Telegraph UK
“This is a funny, sarky, bang-on portrayal of the freakiness of celeb
obsession. The story would sound outrageous – if it wasn't true.”
Time Out
“It could have been one of those ripped-from-the-headlines quickies you
see on subpar cable. Instead, The Bling Ring plugs into the zeitgeist of trash
culture and sparks like a live wire.” Rolling Stone
“The beauty of Sofia Coppola's intoxicating film that dabbles with
celebrity obsession is that it entwines us so completely it its fake culture,
that it makes us believe we are part of it” Urban Cinefile
“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.” The
AV Club
“This is easily Coppola’s funniest film. Leslie Mann is hilarious as
Nicki’s phony spiritual mum” Time Out London
“The Bling Ring, Sofia Coppola’s deceptively shallow but
ultimately fascinating latest, is animated by that spirit of
we-don’t-give-a-f**k playfulness.” Time Out NY
"May be the most exquisitely crafted movie ever made about a bunch of
nitwits. " The New Yorker
