Leave your thoughts about The Bling Ring.
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanProvocative and beautifully crafted, radiating with another one of the auteur's typically flawless soundtrack compilations, "The Bling Ring" brings insight and hypnotic urgency to a story not to be believed if it weren't so unbelievably true. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanHad Coppola at least made some social commentary with her picture, perhaps "The Bling Ring" would have had a purpose. But, as it stands, this film is a complete waste of time. |
| Tulsa WorldMichael SmithCoppola constructs their true-crime events rather conventionally for her usual style, but that's because she's smart enough to know that people this dumb don't need much embellishment. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarA little cheekier than most Coppola films, its subjects fish in a barrel of barbed laughs. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallCoppola's movie has a sense of indie vitality, although the energy feels wasted by running in place. |
| TV GuidePerry SeibertThe Bling Ring is something new from the Lost in Translation director. It continues her ongoing portraits of teen alienation, but it's also full of big laughs. |
| New York PostKyle SmithIn other words, this punkish, sleek film about beautiful kids wallowing in purloined Prada could have been written by a grumpy 65-year-old white guy in gabardine, provided he had a sense of irony. The Bling Ring is the bridge between Coppola and Bill O’Reilly. |
| We Got This CoveredJonathan LackThe Bling Ring is a gloriously repugnant fever dream of reckless excess, rampant insensitivity, and spiritual isolation, one that is absolutely effective in getting its desired visceral reaction from the audience. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreAs with her best films, Coppola is utterly at ease in this milieu and it shows. |
| Film.comDavid EhrlichUncharacteristically loose and deceptively frivolous, The Bling Ring is as much of an attack on The Hills Generation as any of Coppola’s previous films were an exercise in self-pity, which is to say not at all. |
