The Bling Ring is a great slice of entertainment that is fully aware of its purpose the whole time. Just over ten years ago, celebrities throughout Hollywood were in danger of being robbed by the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch. This gang consisted of seven teenagers from the Calabasas area who stole millions of dollars worth of stuff in under a year's time. In 2013, the extremely talented Sofia Coppola wrote and directed the The Bling Ring in fine fashion, telling a story that would’ve gone completely under the radar had it not been for her efforts.
The film really follows just five characters the whole time, but they have a kick ass chemistry so it’s never redundant in my opinion. The highlight of The Bling Ring is definitely sisters Nicki (Emma Watson) and Sam (Taissa Farmiga), who are both strikingly gorgeous and hilarious. Nothing about this film will change much for you, but it doesn’t stretch itself too far, getting to the point with some style along the way. |
