Coppola's Style and Watson's Performance Make the Film
20 June 2013 | by (Louisville, KY) – See all my reviews

The Bling Ring (2013)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

Sofia Coppola wrote and directed this true story about a group of California teens who decided to live the rich life by breaking into the homes of celebrities and stealing their personal items. If one in coming to THE BLING RING expecting some sort of explanation or even a story about the events then you might be disappointed. I was a little surprised to see how little of a story there is as we're basically introduced to the main characters and then spend the next 90-minutes watching them steal jewelry, wear Paris Hilton's shoes and lay in the bed that Lohan once laid in. I think it's clear that the film has a lot to say about teens today who are obsessed with celebrities but Coppola never beats us over the head but instead just lets you take part of these characters, who we can call idiots, and watch their idiotic moves where it appears no one stopped to think about what they were actually doing. I've heard a few reviews complain that all the characters are so one-note and it's hard to tell the difference from one to another. I think this was a point that many people today can't be themselves as they all try to be someone else. That someone "else" they're trying to be is what makes these people so one-note and boring. Coppola certainly does a marvelous job in regards to the look of the picture. I'd say this here is without question the best looking movie she's ever done with some fabulous set design and cinematography. Just the way these "shopping" trips are filmed are perfect and put you right there in the middle of the action. Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Claire Julien, Taissa Farmiga and Leslie Mann are all very good and believable in their roles. Emma Watson clearly steals the show as Nicki who is certainly the blindest of everyone. THE BLING RING isn't a flawless movie but there's no doubt that Coppola got her vision up on the screen and put a unique spin to today's fascination with celebrities.
