The Bling Ring (2013)

The Bling Ring (2013) is an American thriller film, based on a real event.

My Goodness, what happened to Sofia Coppola? What have they done to her? She made three excellent films and went under. Just like Shyamalan (who made four)!

When she made Somewhere, which was already terribly boring, I could have forgiven her because it’s a film about boredom. But here, I can’t see any point to this film. What a waste of time and film! Especially if you’re not a fan of fashion and all that goes with it: ultra superficial people with no charm whatsoever, cocaine, theft, make-up, fashion shows (girls changing clothes all the time!), RnB and Rap music and lots of other things that make me want to puke.

Story based on real events? Make it into a documentary or put it on the news, but don’t make it so bloody hard to watch! I’m writing this review when… I’ve still got half an hour to go.

Just because something is based on real events doesn’t mean it’s interesting. If I’m filmed in my living room watching films, eating crisps and getting fat, and they say it’s based on real events, I’m not sure anyone’s going to be interested!

To think that I’ve watched a ton of horror films and that I’ve told myself that I need to calm down and watch other styles. With this one, you immediately want to go back to where you were.
I think even a dead man coming back to life would want to go back to his grave if the first thing he saw was this obnoxious feature.

It’s really hard to follow a whole film where the characters aren’t endearing at all, you just want them to get caught.

A guy who looks like shit and manages to make friends with the most fashionable girls on campus.
What a load of rubbish!
As for the actresses, we don’t know if they’re really like that or if they’re just great.
We’ll see if the last half hour changes my mind.
But generally speaking, I judge a film on how long it goes on, but also on the final effect it leaves me with.

Well… Emma Watson is excellent, that’s for sure!
And justice is more or less done in the last 20 minutes.
But it’s still a bad, very sappy film.
