mark g What a truly great movie that works on so many different levels. Two characters different in practically every way, except that both are experiencing a complete loss of purpose in life. Both are in an existence state in which nothing truly resonates with either. As the saying goes, "misery loves company." However, in this film, company actually paves the way for purpose and happiness. This film stays with you a long time and will keep staying with you after repeated viewings.

Something you can watch alone with a glass of wine and join the characters in the little bubble of existence they share for a while.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review john h The daughter of one of the most visionary filmmakers of all time brings an interesting and sometimes quirk and surreal atmosphere to the mundane lives of our characters. Bob Harris, played by Bill Murray meets Charlotte, played by Scarlett Johansson at the bar top, becoming the start of the romanticism of Lost in Translation. Coppola is the rare case of "like-father-like-daughter" in terms of making a difference in filmmaking. To say that this is an important film will require a thorough explanation, to say this is a terrible film will alienate that one person's opinions and to say that this is one of the best movies ever made is an overstatement. It is, nonetheless, a quiet, uniquely unconventional 21st century romantic classic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Faiz D It beautifully captures loneliness and everything that comes with it., Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Kevin P A hypnotically sweet and tender movie that's quiet, but grows on you and makes you never want to leave its presence. Such a sweet relationship between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. They're both two lonely people who finally feel alive again as they strike a connection that feels deeply intimate, one that skirts the line of romantic, but is mostly platonic. They both feel disconnected and troubled with their own marriages that you know they have to return to, but for now can escape with their limited time spent together that you wish could never end. Even when the film ends, you almost want to watch it again so you can still see them together. They both represent two troubled stages of our lives when we don't know what we want to do: the crossroads of our twenties and the mid-life crisis of our forties & fifties. Excellent direction from Sofia Coppola, with such clear visual storytelling that excellently captures the vibrant and unique vistas of Tokyo and the subtle emotions behind the characters' silent expressions. The movie does such an incredible job portraying the quiet sadness of feeling lonely in a crowd, feeling disconnected even with your important colleagues or spouses. Where everyone hears you, but no one is really listening. And then suddenly finding that person who makes you feel comfortable, at home, truly alive. Great cinematography showcasing how different a city and setting can feel depending on how alone you feel or how connected with friends you are.
