Emma Watson made her way to France to debut her new film "The Bling Ring" at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and the reviews are in!

In an interview at the Cannes Film Festival Watson said that although this character is very different from her Harry Potter character Hermoine Granger she is not trying to distance herself from the franchise, "I'm not trying to run away from it."

According to USA Today the actress said, "I'm very proud of the work that I did. I'm just really enjoying having the chance to transform into new roles." Watson made quite a transformation in her role as Nicki the self-absorbed, famed obsessed character Watson grew to hate.

"The Bling Ring" is loosely based on the well-off fame obsessed Los Angeles teenagers who stole over $3 million worth of property from celebrities over a 10-month period in 2008-2009, according to MTV.

Celebritity vicitms included Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Megan Fox, Orlando Bloom, and much more.

According to "Variety," Scott Foundas gave a positive review on the cast's performance.

He said, "Always adept at directing young performers, Coppola encourages fine work here from her cast of mostly newcomers, with Watson taking special relish in shedding her goody-two-shoes 'Harry Potter' persona. Broussard also makes a strong impression as the wallflower with a yen for fuchsia stilettos."

In the end Peter Bradshaw from the "Guardian" gave the movie an overall final review, which was deemed positive.

"There is something in [Coppola's] unjudging approach that is unexpectedly appropriate - and effective. It lets her get up close and personal to the story and characters, which conventional irony (from a director like Larry Clark or a writer like Bret Easton Ellis) wouldn't get near. And it lets you experience the creepiness for yourself, helped by the cool, clear 'reportage' cinematography of the late Harris Savides, in his final movie."
