Understatement is his tool now."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "Clever and refined."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 85/100 "Despite momentary lags in taste, Coppola's film is funny and sweet, while Murray and Johannson are, in turn, sublime and affecting."   Cinemania   Dan Jardine 3.5/4 "Lost in Translation is one of the year's best films, an intelligent, beautifully rendered mood piece that features Bill Murray at his absolute best."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2.5/4 "...Coppola's more interested in establishing the mood of this foreign land, instead of allowing us to really get to know the two central characters."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair A "A brilliantly understated romantic comedy."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "Because it lacks focus, as well as confidence in its story and stars, 'Lost in Translation' squanders a good opportunity."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 4/4 "Lyrical and deeply touching...as intimate, humane, and heartfelt as any love story this year."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3.5/4 "The film’s characters see their every disaffection hauntingly reflected onto the sounds and landscapes of the city they inhabit."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A "If there were any doubts left as to Ms. Coppola's abilities [as a filmmaker]... "Lost in Translation" should smash down the snickering walls of her doubters once and for all."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens "Sería terrible quedarse en la superficie y no dejarse arrastrar por las sensaciones que propone esta película."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B+ "This is a quiet, contemplative comedy whose comedic moments seem secondary in importance to its deeper, more beautiful ones."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider A "Absolutely one of the funniest films of the year, and also one of the most deeply sad"   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 4/4 "Mi película favorita del 2003."   Doncinema.com   Flavio J. Arosemena 3.5/4 "...[an] intimate glossy project with a solid purpose...[a] compellingly warm and intuitive narrative...imaginative and inherently heartfelt"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B+ "A lovely, loopy modern-day 'Brief Encounter' that has the wisdom not to push too hard or linger too long."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "One of the bests of 2003 with stellar performances by Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson as Americans who reach across the age barrier to connect with each other in Tokyo."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat A "Never rushed, never pushed, Coppola's steady hand is felt in almost every frame, gently coaxing her subjects and story to a deeper, invigorating resolution."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 4/4 "This study into the unfathomable depths of human relationships has more honesty than 95% of the movies I have seen this year."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "a beautiful, lyrical cinematic ode to lost souls finding each in an unlikely place"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 5/5 "Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson make the first classic romance of the new century glow with gorgeous, luminous grace."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/4 "Subtly realized and finely nuanced, this is fresh and unspoiled filmmaking."   Aufmuth.com   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "Coppola's mood-setting is pitch-perfect ... to be lost and alone in a strange place, full of strangers, feeling kind of sad and wistful."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 48/100 "Attractive and pleasant as it is, there's no escaping the impression that it feels like an overly hip exercise in soul-searching for those who thought American Beauty really did “look closer” at life."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 7.5/10 "A terrific balance of comedy, drama and lyrical moments."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "Personally, I had simply read/heard way too much hyperbole about this movie before my screening, so I couldn't help but feel a little let down afterwards."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 10/10 "Something truly special."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3.5/4 "'Una cinta tierna, emotiva, estupendamente bien actuada y agradablemente honesta. Uno de los mejores filmes del año, sencillamente inolvidable'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 4.5/5 "Tender and amazing."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4.5/5 "Like a favorite and enthralling CD soundtrack that takes you places magical."   ToxicUniverse.com   Keith Uhlich 3.5/4 "... a film that explores the boundaries and responsibilities of a relationship free of the judgment that outsiders would inevitably impose upon it."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2.5/4 "Another elusive non-story about oh-so-existential beautiful misfits"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B+ "Writer/director Sofia Coppola has crafted a mood poem about isolation in a strange environment and the temporary relationships that linger in memory that can be born there"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/4 "The power of Lost in Translation is in the way it sneaks up on you."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 6/10 "The film works best when the two [leads] are having talks together with Murray playing it quiet and sincere. Sadly there are fewer of such moments than the film needed."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "[O]ne of the most astonishing films I’ve ever seen... [d]elicate and longing, tender and bittersweet..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "The best film of 2003."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "Lost in Translation finds something that occasionally happens between people and presents it realistically...one of the best pictures of the year."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan A- "Coppola is a master of moments and details, and here they add up to a story that is beautifully bittersweet."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 5/5 "A fidelidade de Sofia Coppola é devotada a seus personagens, e não ao espectador. E esta é, mais uma vez, a decisão correta."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca "'Lost in Translation' is like a beautiful short story - low-key, smart, direct and, in its own distinct way, close to perfection."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 4.5/5 "There's an almost ethereal rawness to this film that gets way under the skin."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "Coppola's remarkable comedy confirms that her auspicious debut, The Virgin Suicides, was no fluke. Her serenely assured direction here is moving and transcendent. Lost in Translation is one of the best films of the year."   TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)   Rick Curnutte 5/5 "Working this time with her own story, Coppola lets it relax and breathe, devoting herself to moods and moments."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves A- "The film's greatest strength comes from its sad wisdom about relationships and the way its protagonists recognize how precarious their connection is."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "As a character study, the film works very well. As a romance or drama, however, it is nearly inert."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "Bill Murray keeps "Lost in Translation" entertaining and does a fine job of emoting the exhaustion and frustration of being so far from home and helpless..."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "It tells a clear story with a humorous voice, sharp imagery and an eye for nuance."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 4.5/5 "You'll see it because you love Bill Murray. But somewhere about halfway through you'll realize that you're watching something much more than a dramatic vehicle for Hollywood's clown prince."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg  (1 - 50) of 62 OFCS Rating: 95% Fresh Page   12   > Next
