Film review: The Bling Ring

As a portrait of a generation for whom social media has erased the line between public and private, The Bling Ring is sharp enough.

The Bling Ring
Director: Sofia Coppola
Starring: Emma Watson, Katie Cheung, Israel Broussard
***

On the other hand, the thieves themselves are a shallow bunch, and it is hard to decide whether Coppola isn't herself also dazzled by the bling. She doesn't have much to say, but as a portrait of a generation for whom social media has erased the line between public and private, The Bling Ring is sharp enough.
