Brazen Little Brats submitted by Beth Manuel on June 30, 2014, 10:45am I was amazed at how brazen and selfish these little twerps were. Plus, I couldn't believe how accessible some of the celebrities stuff was kept. Crazy.

Bizarre True Crime submitted by monkk on July 6, 2014, 10:21pm A film well done by Sofia Coppola, based on the article and later, the book written by Nancy Jo Sales about the Bling Ring, a group of teens who easily broke into celebrity homes and stole a ridiculous amount of stuff. Features include Paris Hilton's real home which was actually burgled by the group, Emma Watson's incredible portrayal of the leader of the group, and overall a well told story of a crazy thing that really happened.

yes submitted by manz on July 16, 2014, 11:50am Thank you Sofia Coppola. A nice film. Yet again.

Cool submitted by leenajong on July 21, 2015, 5:16pm Pretty good movie, inspired by actual event!

Better than expected submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 1, 2015, 12:41pm ... based on actual events, the utter depravity of these vapid, entitled, self-absorbed teenagers without conscience is ultimately frightening. Pretty Little Predators.

Pretty good, but not what I was hoping for submitted by KOH on August 11, 2017, 11:49pm I adore Sofia Coppola, but this isn't quite her typical style. Just an okay film.
