I recently read The Bling Ring script and Sofia's creative influence is derived from the environment she grew up in. Basically, it's writers 101 " Write What You Know". She stays in her comfort zone, but she frequently provokes the audience to reflect upon the privilege individuals who she tends to centralize her theme on. You aren't supposed to like every character, but consider how their environment creates people who project themselves as unlikeable, even in most cases they are incredibly dissatisfied with their life. The films of hers I appreciate the most are The Virgin Suicides and Lost In Translation. Sofia is talented, but her films are languid and are specific to a certain type of lifestyle, which can perhaps dissuade some people. I'm excited to see the trailer of The Bling Ring even if I know it's based on modern Hollywood which is saturated with gluttony.
