Lost in Translation

Reading the other user reviews made me sad in a way because so many did not even understand what the film was about. I read one that said the film was about the differences between the American and Japanese people. Some... Full review

Sofia Coppola has fashioned a comedy that is dry to the touch but finds unlikely ways to move you. The film hinges on its characters played by Bill Murray (as Bob Harris) and Scarlett Johansson (as Charlotte), who form an unlikely... Full review

Funny and sincere, LOST IN TRANSLATION is not your typical Bill Murray film. But it is a good one. The visuals and Murray's acting steal the show.... Full review

Evidentally, all that's required for a movie to receive good reviews is to set it in a foreign country, get a director with a reputation, and a well known lead actor. The movie had no flow to it at all. The... Full review

If you rate this movie other than all F's, you are pretending you understand something. Tried to make fun of short japanese was the main theme of this movie. This crap mixed with issues like midlife crisis, young woman lost in... Full review

I watched Lost in Translation last week. I am a fan of Bill Murray and was anxious to see this movie. The acting was fine. Scenery was fine. The story couldn't have been more dull. I am not a person who... Full review

Ebert & Roeper gave it 2 thumbs up. We love Bill, we love artsy indie films, we usually agree with E&R, so we went. We should have read between the lines. "Controlled," "tired and subdued," "wearily funny..." but TWO THUMBS UP!... Full review

Death in Vegas' spellbinding song "Girls" perfectly sets the tone for Sofia Coppola's second feature film, the bittersweet, intelligent, mature and absolutely wonderful Lost in Translation. Trying to summarize the movie is almost pointless because the emotions the film sparks... Full review

characters are plastic, shallow and feelingless. The story, What story?. It was very hard to relate to someone having a hard time making two million dollars for being a model for less than a week and hooked up in a fine... Full review

And I won't dis anybody who doesn't like it. Most people are just used to watching what they're used to watching, and for me the majority of movies anymore are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO predictable, American movies especially. There's an actual standard formula they... Full review

are actually some of the worst movies in Johansson's filmography ( Home Alone 3 obviously excluded) only adds insult to that assertion.....the point here isn't gathering Johansson's best pictures....putting them together in a collection on the cheap, since, along with The Black Dahlia , it is one of the worst movies of Johansson's adult acting career.....The films here are disastrously misrepresentative of Johansson's best....Johansson is a bit too whiny instead of the disaffected and rebellious attitude Ga ...

Last year "The Hours" won for most boring movie with the critics. It must be because I've just sat through the first overwrought and pretentious movie of the fall. Do not come near "Lost In Translation" unless you suffer from sleep deprivation. ... Full Review

It's entirely another when mockery is ripe for picking and Murray's too lazy to reach. Bill Murray isn't funny anymore. Sorry, Bill Murray, you lost the fire in 'Ember' ... Full Review

I'm not saying that what you'll hear will change the content of the film for better or worse, but sometimes, you're better off staying ignorant. Because the way Sofia Coppola's film ends is magical, and the not knowing the content of that parting whisper is crucial to that magic. ... Full Review

However, Sofia Coppola deserved all of her praise for this very good little film. The principal theme of "Lost in Translation" is the playful and unfulfilled romantic relationship between fading American star Bob Harris and lonely and ignored wife Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson). ... Full Review

Bestowing a perfect example of how one can strike a balance between one's directorial and acting career, Satish Kaushik is one man who can boast with a great deal of conviction. ... Full Article

The Japanese have a knack for taking things made famous by other countries and duplicating them perfectly, often improving them. Think of the sports sedan, outdoor gear, tea, and the diver's watch. ... Full Article

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. --- When I'm not going to film screenings in Manhattan, or watching DVD screeners at home, I'm rewatching movies in my own collection or catching up with classics I've never seen courtesy of Netflix (no, I don't... ... Full Article
