This film was screened on my college campus in mid May. I'd read the book and was curious how it would look in documentary form. The filmmakers did a good job in explaining the basic message but having actual students tell their personal stories is what makes the film especially interesting.

The students who appear are incredibly articulate, perceptive and funny and do a great job of describing the abominations inflicted by current academia. The books authors--Lukianoff and Haidt-- also appear and explain further how identity politics have turned students into emotional basketcases.

I highly recommend this movie.

I only have vague memories of this story, so this doc was great at filling in the gaps. I had no idea what a nightmare Monica went through and she comes across as extremely sympathetic. Good thing her mom made her tell the truith though I doubt I'd survive the aftermath of doing so.

They got most of the major players to participate; Lucianne Goldberg was especially entertaining and I wish we heard more from her. I also would love Drudge and Ann Coulters take but they were aonly briefly alluded to and didnt participate.. Finally Paula Jones comes across as sane and thank god she finally got rid of that perm!

Yes everyone involved --apart from the prosecutors--is absolutely horrible but the Bling Ring story is crazy and the doc is worth watching. The now-grown-up kids have absolutely zero shame and a million excuses for their crimes but I gotta give them credit for great story telling.

Regarding their awful lawyers, I am horrified how badly these kids were represented by their legal counsel who were clearly just as obsessed with celebrity as their loser clients. But since one of the lawyers was chosen based on HIS LOOKS (he's not that great BTW) what do you expect.

This is a good doc for someone who didnt know the Bling Ring story --especially the reality show angle--and wants to get the full scoop.
