Lost in Translation

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

It was an extremely funny movie that showed how things do get Lost in Translation. It is supposedly the best work of young Sofia Coppola's career. ... Full Review

Lost in Translation is a Marvelous Love Story About Emotional Connections....She also captures the boredom and ennui of the characters....She has a great chemistry with Bill and it's too bad they aren't closer in age....Her strongest moments were when she had no dialogue, yet still clearly conveyed what was going on with her character.....Scarlett Johansson is captivating on screen and not just because of her good looks..... ...

The film looks beautiful. Besides, I loved Sofia Coppola's " Lost in Translation " and the teaser trailer shot me through the heart with its striking 80s graphic sensibility and New Order soundtrack. ... Full Review

Ms. Johansson continues to use her preternaturally smoky voice to good effect, but she has a difficult time creating a full character out of the small strokes in Ms. Coppola's script. I imagine Sofia Coppola has done her fair share of jet-setting. ... Full Review

they make the film so much better than most.....usually these films are unbearably dull and pretentious..... ... Full Review
