The Bling Ring | Ratings & Reviews

"Always adept at directing young performers, Coppola encourages fine work here from her cast of mostly newcomers, with Watson taking special relish in shedding her goody-two-shoes "Harry Potter" persona."

VarietyVariety

"Sharp and shiny as the jewellery its twisted teens pilfer, Coppola’s cautionary tale eschews action for angsting about celeb-obsessed culture."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Deceptively shallow but ultimately fascinating."

Time OutTime Out

"Occupies a vertiginous middle ground between banality and transcendence, and its refusal to commit to one or the other is both a mark of integrity and a source of frustration."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"There is something in Coppola's weightless, affectless portrayal of their crime spree that is very effective, and this is a film whose interest definitely grows on a second viewing."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Once the initial thrill of riding shotgun to these robberies starts to fade, the audience has little to do but wallow in amorality."

The DissolveThe Dissolve

"Suggests Coppola still has the nose for a good story, but not the depth to sufficiently explore it."

The AgeThe Age

"A film about teenagers, crime, celebrity, LA, the internet and the cinema. These still waters run very deep indeed."

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"Coppola's attitude toward her subject seems equivocal, uncertain... she seems far too at home in the world she depicts to offer a rewarding critique of it."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Might be a film for right now rather than the ages, but Sofia Coppola's heist movie is visually arresting, well acted, capricious fun."
