The Bling Ring

Taken from npr.org

Right then, The Bling Ring, I saw this the other day despite hearing quite negative things about it I thought I'd give it a go. I can see where some people are coming from, especially if they're part of an older generation, as it very much tries to relate to younger minds. However, I have to say it is an enjoyable watch and is filmed in a way that makes the audience feel as if they were another member of the group. Alexis Nears, played by Emma Watson, has stated on her blog, found here, that the true facts will never be known so I wouldn't look into the film as being too accurate, but it does show an insight into how easily the lifestyle can rope people in. All the acting is pretty solid though I wouldn't say there's anything challenging about the roles. And as much as I love Emma Watson, i'm not quite sure she can pull off an american accent, which to me, seemed to stick out quite a bit. Other than that, its definitely one to watch, especially if you're a fashion lover.
