Synopsis: Inspired by actual events, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the internet to track celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes.
Review: This kind of movie is rare. It shows a group of lost fashion victim teenagers. Lives without personal dreams and with the will of having the Occidental way of life, between Iphone and Prada. All should be made available either by the absent or sick parents or by the society in case one becomes a star. That you have to struggle to become something is a non sense. If so many people just need to be on the news and look good to reach it. My problem with the story is that this can either motivate people to live like this or the full opposite, depending on your mind when we watch the movie. If Sofia Coppola would have have a clearer goal, a clearer scenery would have improved the story a lot. This joins a book I am reading about the social consciousness spreading in the society since the famous crises: Une vie peut en cacher une autre, by Mémona Hintermann and Lutz Krusche.  The picture is well done, especially the use of security camera, of cell phone camera, together with the normal film camera. The cut is also well done by varying between fast cuts and long takes. This gives a good rythm to the movie. I would have selected other music to enhance this vision of the society, maybe a bit like in the last version of Great Gatsby, with DiCaprio.
Rating: 7 /10
