Matrixiole
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Inspired by actual events, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the internet to track celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes. The Bling Ring is one of the most useless films i have ever seen in my life and also a movie that makes Emma Watson look absolutely hideous and awful, every single one character or human being that was in this film is either a rich jerk or just a jerk it's also a pretty boring movie and the story it tries to tell is pretty non-interesting and it moves so slow that it made me want to shut it off and i think that the best parts of this film was easily the ending like 5 to 10 minutes that's it nothing more (4.8/10)

Oscar winner Sofia Coppola was always oriented to specific films that are more liable to the female audience, but at the same time have an interesting and artistic character. This stands out from what we are used to see from her. Emma Watson's acting is good, and her role is completely different than what we are used to see from her. The truth is that, unfortunately the scenario has not given too much space for the cast to show what they really have in them. The fact is that this film is a kind of metaphor of the empty lives of young wannabe rich Americans and the choices they made to come closer to the people they look up and what they where willing to do for it.

Sophia Coppola is a brilliant film maker who is a master at capturing characters without delving too deep into their psyche. That may preclude some critics from placing her high on the list if best film makers, but her poetic cinematography and creative scene direction are so good, the glimpse works perfectly. Had she been able to somehow give us more depth of the characters, I would have given this 9/10.The cinematography in this film is brilliant. The break-in scene of Audrina Patridge's glass home captured entirely from an external view with a ultra slow zoom throughout is amazing. Scenes such as Israel Broussard hanging alone in his room, wrapped in his euphoric "pre-game" pre-partying prep moment, and Emma Watson preparing what to wear for her court appearance are stand-outs. I am confident every actor who has worked with Sophia has great respect for her and likely most adore her. She brings out something in each actor we have never seen before. This is a trademark of Sofia's body of work. Israel Broussard, Emma Watson and Leslie Mann produce the standout performances that bind this movie together. Bravo!Emma Watson's Nicki illustrates how skilled she is at becoming the character she portrays. I think Emma will continue evolve into one of the world's most respected actors. Leslie Mann is perfect as a new age rich parent whose altruistic and spiritual intentions, and home school parenting have noble intent, but is blind to what's happening to her daughter, and lost in the LA haze of self-importance and desire for fame that surrounds the show business culture. And Israeli Broussard produces the only character we get the opportunity to care about. Clearly a promising future for this young actor. The cinematography is brilliant. The break-in scene of Audrina Patridge's glass home captured entirely from an external view with a ultra slow zoom throughout is amazing. Scenes such as Israel Broussard hanging in his room alone, wrapped in his euphoric "pre-game" pre-partying prep moment, and Emma Watson preparing what to wear for her court appearance are stand-outs. Catie Chang, Taissa Farmiga and Claire Pfister all put in completely believable performances and all deserve praise. Catie carries a central character effectively throughout the film. The scenes of all the characters as under-age club VIPs out at a hot LA nite club, are spot-on, and each is perfectly subtle in delivering A-level performances. Sophia ALWAYS brings out the best in actors, and no doubt promising futures for these actors. So, in The Bling Ring, we have a front row seat of careless, self-absorbed, peer-pressure influenced teens, who rapidly spin out of control over their addiction to having to have the "jewels" and lifestyle of the most famous and glamorous tabloid celebrities (Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, etc). If Sophia were able to show us more below the surface, this would have been a near perfect film. Perhaps it wouldn't have worked though.I do hope Sophia ups the ante in producing more frequent movies. I get the idea of life balance and picking your spots, but the limited number of movies she has done is not enough. We need more Sophia Coppola please!
