Somewhere

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It covers familiar territory for Sofia Coppola, but Somewhere remains a hypnotic, seductively pensive meditation on the nature of celebrity, anchored by charming performances from Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning.

Richard Brody The New Yorker ...one of the great cinematic portraits of a city. Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator Somewhere has its funny moments, and its clever moments, but the blankness and passivity of the central character make it peculiarly remote, as if you were watching it from a million miles away. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Somewhere is like a slow-moving bullet with no clear aim. Rated: D+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Tom Spoors Loud and Clear Reviews Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere starts off unlikeable, but those who persist will be rewarded with a moving examination of the importance of our relationships. Rated: 4/5 Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Erica Richards InSession Film Overall I found it to be an enjoyable but a slow, quiet watch. If you are a fan of Coppola’s work, seek this out... Rated: B- Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Sofia Coppola is a gifted director: she has clear and present control over mood and milieu; she gets the performance she wants out of Dorff and a much more endearing and revealing turn from Fanning. But the script is undercooked. Rated: B Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Faiz D 'Somewhere' goes nowhere. It treads in similar territory as Lost in Translation but lacks the magic that made Lost in Translation work. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review David F A great Hollywood film, shot at the Chateau Marmont. Its meandering, plotless story follows a leading man as he goes about his life spending time promoting films, posing for a special effects mask, and spending time with his daughter. Sofia Coppola has an insider perspective to really make this film great, and it is. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Scott M A rare movie that captures what its like to be famous, and hate it. The lead actor does a marvelous job. People don't like this movie because everyone wants to be famous, until they are. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Tracey D Like watching paint dry Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Miki T One of my fav of Coppora's film. This is so heartwarming, and I adore Elle's innocence in this film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review David W Somewhere is a meditative look into the effects of celebrity. I would like to have seen a deeper exploration of the main character's psyche. Whether intentional or unintentional, he remains just as enigmatic at the end of the story as he is at the beginning. I would only watch this again if there were nothing better to choose from. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
