I enjoyed this bigger-budget and well-acted remake, but as to the base plot I simply couldn't suspend my disbelief. Estates that large are never so empty, even when the breadwinner homeowner is off-premises. There's always household staff about maintaining the aspects of the house that need maintenance whether Paris Hilton is using them or not. The fact that the house would still be staffed does, though, explain why the alarms wouldn't be engaged and why the doors would be so accessible. I know this is based on a true story, but I think some details were left out or exaggerated for the sake of a compelling story as they do not match with realistic behavior.
The harbinger of the fall of a civilization - bored, entitled children entertaining themselves at the expense of others and gaining celebrity from a bored, wanna-be culture devoid of values, compassion, or boundaries. A sad narrative based on true incidents. I gave it a 7 (good) out of 10.
What have you done Sofia Coppola? Whhhhhyyyy?
no pace, no theme, no point
I agree with DonLosKenitres, one thing that prevented from liking this movie was the annoyance i felt with the main characters. The movie failed to give me any reason to relate or like them at all.
That or maybe i'm just too old :).
This was a pleasant surprise! I had some doubts before I choose to see this one today when I went to the cinema but after all it wasn't a bad choice.
Stylish film that gives a good portrait of the society that idolizes celebrities. All of the lust, expensive brands, lots of money, the parties, the star lifestyle! This also makes a reference of many parents that nowadays don't pay attention to what their sons are doing, they just don't care or pretend they don't care and don't see what they are doing. They are just too busy with their own lifes.
This should be seen also as a satire. Comparing this one with Spring Breakers, the two are about some kind of wild teenagers, in my oppinion The Bling Ring definitely wins!
The young actors gave a natural and good performance! The chemistry between all of them was great!
I didn't knew that this was based on true events.
a lot to say about modern American culture.
When this movie first came out, I was all about it. I loved the cinematography and it’s aesthetic. Something about it really draws me in. Now many years later, I know who Sofia Coppola is and it really makes sense why I like this movie. Despite it being one of the objectively weaker A24 movies, it surely has a place in my heart and did a good job helping pave the way for A24.
Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend
rUN tHE jEWELS fAST . . . FUCK THE SLOW-MOW
Boring and pretty shallow and im not complaining about the situation exposed, which i expected, just that you can tell a stupid story without being stupid.
The movie is too aesthetic for whats going on, seems that who made it preffered better to tell us how the paris hilton closet looked like over the fact that some stupid people where breaking into her house. Like i should be amused for how easy stealing can be.
There's a fair share of scenes in this movie that are just way to long.These are scenes that don't contain any type of valuable information,they're just there to make the movie longer basically.Other than that,pretty mediocre movie.
Teens stealing things in houses of celebrities to take their stuff and show off, no more, you can see the beging and the end and is enought
srsly? character development? where you are?
I love this movie!
!!!!!!!!!
It could have had a better ending. Good movie though.
neeeh it was alreet
Children make the worst actors.
Hard to like the movie when all the characters are so very unlikable.
I thought it started out good but never got anywhere and ended rather abruptly. Dare I say it's as shallow as it's subjects?
I preferred the Lifetime TV version (that is not a good sign). It just made me feel sad for the characters, that they are that lost in life...

Horrible. It has been really hard to see the end.
