Antonioni watches too much TMZ in Sofia Coppola's detached portrait of hollowed-out youth culture.June 21, 2013
Daring to face these often noxious, seemingly empty phenomena on aesthetic terms, and taking on a degree of their flatness and simplicity, Coppola renders them surprisingly substantial.June 24, 2013
Emma Watson is comedic gold.July 20, 2015
...Coppola definitely finds a captivating way of telling the tale. Her script and the performances give us something thought-provoking out of something superficial.May 10, 2016
The Bling Ring is a comedy, a gentle (if thin) satire of fame-obsessed youths, and a canny probe into the ecosystem of LA's celeb culture and the weird influence it exerts on the rest of the population.June 21, 2016
Coppola gives the events a bubbly potency, drawn to the attractive, greedy foolishness of the characters. They are, when it comes down to it, horrible, vapid people, yet the film doesn't view them purely as monsters, or as a sociological construct.August 08, 2013

This is a funny, sarky, bang-on portrayal of the freakiness of celeb obsession. The story would sound outrageous - if it wasn't true.June 24, 2013
All the characters are shallow and one-dimensional and, while one can argue that this is the point, it doesn't make for 90 minutes of engaging cinema.January 03, 2014
It's smart and droll.July 14, 2016
In the United States of Narcissism, you're nothing if you can't see yourself on a screen.
