I love it. It's just nice to look at all the beautiful scenery, very dreamy. I can always pop this in if I'm having a bad day and feel infinitely better. Also, the soundtrack is perfect and Kevin Shields should be forced to work on more films. Bill Murray is always immensely watchable and it's no different here. One of my favorites.

Visual poetry. What is truly refreshing about Lost in Translation is the honesty. An honest romance film that doesn't pander to the audience and cop out with the ending. Stated as overrated in many circles, I strongly disagree. There have been few (if any) greater American love stories on film in the last decade. Very few films can simultaneously make you feel happy inside, while also making you weep. Murray was robbed.

Writer-director Sofia Coppola's personality is so engrained in this picture that it's no wonder it's often included in "Films for INFJs" lists. The photography & dreampop music create a looming atmosphere for these characters to live in. And as a story it avoids being a simplistic melodrama about an older man & young woman. It loses some points as the jokes on Japanese locals & the Anna Faris character can be mean spirited. But it's recommended for the moral of finding hope in depression.

(after repeat viewings) Seen it a lot recently, evokes a warm and melancholic feeling every time. Coppola does wonders with a small budget and a talented cast and creates moments that are both sweet and refreshing. I can't help but connect and enjoy. Not being a big fan of her acting - *clearing throat* - I can honestly say her film has moved me. Murray should be in every film yet to be made.

A melancholy reverie of the world's most chaste romance, all stolen glances and shy touches (head on a shoulder, fingers grazing her outstretched foot). The soundtrack is as big a key as any as to Sofia Coppola's influences: shoegaze is the music of lonely people trying to find beauty buried beneath the surface. It doesn't matter what Bob said to Charlotte, what matters is that he returned to her to say it: an incantation to give their relationship meaning at the moment of closure.

If Lost in Translation ended after the slow introductory shot of Scarlett Johanssen's scantily clad rear end, this movie would rate 100. However, this movie continues on for two more hours lacking continuity within scenes, likable characters, a compelling plot or respectable pacing, showing why Sofia Coppola should be forced to change her last name before completely disgracing her father's legacy.

Graced by an excellent soundtrack with key cuts from My Bloody Valentine, Air, and Squarepusher that drive the film's best moments, and it's those untranslatable moods that leave a lasting impact. The actual romance would be entirely forgettable if not for the awkward age gap between an 18-year old and a 52-year old. I like that Bill Murray's character has to be famous because why would Scarlett Johansson even look at him twice if he wasn't famous?

Probably one of my favorite movies of all time. I keep watching it over and over and cannot get enough of the mood Coppola evokes so effortlessly. Bill Murray and Johansson had such great, understated chemistry. Will go down as one of the best films of the previous decade, and will definitely be remembered in years to come.

A rambling, self indulgent Facebook-status-update of a movie. SEE the usually gorgeous Johanssen as a spoiled brat, the usually brilliant BIll Murray as a hangdog mope. HEAR them whine because nobody understands them. FEEL their boredom despite being in one of the most vibrant cities on Earth. The soundtrack and brain-dead mumbling ending reek of director Sophia Coppola's yearning for indie cred. See it, if only to understand why all the people who rave about it are wrong.

Incredibly boring story, forgettable characters and dull script go together to create yet another ridiculously overrated Oscar winner. I'm sure the snippets of Tokyo culture are quite well-observed and the cinematography of the city is certainly nice, but aside from a couple of semi-amusing scenes involving Bob 'at work' there's nothing memorable here whatsoever. Perhaps when I'm in the midst of my mid-life crisis and fantasising about beautiful 20 year-olds I'll appreciate it more.

Yea, I guess I'm in the minority on this one. I just don't see what the big deal is. It kept my attention, but I wouldn't call it terribly interesting either. Theres certainly appreciable qualities to the movie, it's well acted and shot, and can be very atmospheric, but when it comes down to it, I just didn't find enough here to really wow me. It's not bad, but I wouldn't go anywhere near calling it great either. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something here.

Creates an interesting tonal dynamic between intimate & relaxed character drama & distant absurdist comedy. Acting is subtly physical and Murray's effortless prostration plays wonderfully against Johansson's naive perplexity. At times Coppola doesn't quite know how to fill the space and puts in some trivial shots with moody music added in for atmosphere. Mostly however it does build a fantastic setting to contextualize the drama. A very enjoyable work but too thin to quite be called brilliant.

Earlier I have thought that some of the japanese jokes and the irritating actress Kelly were too cliché but on my third viewing it all seemed to click. Everything worked for me, and the relationship between Bob and Charlotte must be one of the best romances in film history. It is so subtle and slowly developed that it just feels so real and honest. And of course, Johansson and Murray have never been better. The direction is top-notch, smoothly packing every moment with subtle emotions. Go watch!

A movie about loneliness and fleeting connections between people. I don't quite understand the accusations of racism, because I think this is also an affectionate homage to not-entirely-inauthetic Japanese weirdness and nightlife. Some of it is clichéd, but let's just imagine this as the inverse of two people from abroad meeting in the strange place that is America; point being, cultural caricature is not necessarily "racist." It is used here simply to emphasize alienation and longing.

The worst movie ever made. Dull, self involved characters in a story where NOTHING EVER HAPPENS! No one ever says anything interesting, insightful or creative. Worst of all is the cinematography, trying to tell of the emtiness that is their existance through the use of big empty shots. Effective perhaps, but about as interesting as listening to your grandma talk about bowel movements and not half as fun. To see a good execution of what Coppola was trying to do, watch Garden State.

The cute friendship and restrained romance play out quickly. Murray is charming but assholish. ScarJo is expressive but empty. Establishes a night vibe through some nice looking shots and well-curated music and the mileage you get mostly seems to hinge on it. Everything is played through two characters' perspectives. So you can't pin down the film's view on anything, which allows it to maintain a cool ambivalence but also makes it coolly distant.

A great film for people who like quiet, low dialog, non plot driven films. Some would call this boring or dull, and that's not necessarily unfair criticism. Sometimes dull works well, sometimes it's painful. If you're looking to wind down, this is a good quiet film for that purpose. Coppola is one of the most fascinating visual artists around today and this film is no exception of her talent, along with the great cinematographer, Lance Acord. Bill Murray is impressive. Ribisi is underused.

Probably one of those films that the more I watch the more I would fall in love with. And honestly I can't find a single element that I don't love: the brutally comic depiction of depression, the heartfelt and honest portrayal of the relationship between the main characters unfolding and sprouting up in beautiful and true colours, the pretty and colourful imagery, the music and the emotion invoked, all in a light and seemingly carefree way until the striking finale. Beautiful piece of cinema.

Kind of boring. It's a film about two people who don't really have any goal in life. Then they meet and they go out and talk a bit. Unfortunately none of this is interesting or thought provoking. The themes could have been handled a lot better. The few points it's trying to make fall flat and so does the humour. The pacing is very slow and there is no satisfying end or change of events. I almost gave up watching about halfway in. I was hoping for some major turnaround but it never came.

It was a mistake not to watch it back in the day. Normally I don't like Sophie Cappola's narrative and style; so I passed on this one even though there was a lot of hype. I must admit that it is a special movie, mostly due to the amazing chemistry between Murray and Johansson. It also reminded me of one of my favourite experiences; talking with the owner of a Barbeque Restaurant in Seoul in Turkish while he was answering me back in Korean while doing my barbeque for me; being lost is beautiful.

Many people who have been to Tokyo, will likely feel alientated by the protags apparent unending bordem in Tokyo. They were completely apathetic. Bill Murray moments of hilarity make the movie what it is, without him would plod far more. Murray steals the show. Title should be "Tokyo Lost on Snobby Rich Girl (Coppola)".

Needs a rewatch at this point. It’s been too long, but I remember loving it. Acting was great and it served as a wonderful character piece. A tad slow, but never boring.

Lost in Translation is an excellent movie. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson both give great performances. They are essentially what drives this movie, but they alone make it so good. The bond that they develop is just handled perfectly.

The Bill Murray version of Before Sunrise (1995) yet able to stand up in its own right due to the fact that the characters were both married at different stages in their lives. The use of Tokyo was magnificent. Charming and sweet without being too much of a chick flick.

A beautiful film with a convincing relationship that doesn't have some cheesy payoff. Occasionally goofy, but mostly just a look at two people dealing with being disconnected with all the people around them. The setting being a foreign country where they stick out like a sore thumb serves as a not over the top way to emphasize what it is like to feel lonely despite being surrounded by people.

One of those movies that has had a profound effect shaping me as a person. The first time I saw this I had to sit and think about my own life for awhile.

On urban alienation, the breakdown of communication, and more simply an ode to a beautiful city. Sullen and melancholic, but with a sly sense of humor that makes it fun to watch. Murray and Johansson are both wonderful. Coppola keeps us anticipating their embrace with subtlety and taste, no typical movie romance sentimentality being shoved down our throats.

This film must have been one of the biggest wastes of money I have ever seen.Even more than the Millenium Dome in London. It was absolute Tosh.

S. Johansson is her usual vacant self, and the story isnt't that interesting. I don't see what's to love here. Only Bill Murray saves this one from being a complete snooze-fest.

Mistakes - 1) In the street scene where the campaigning car passes by, Bob's shoes turn from black to brown after he crosses the street. 2) At the karaoke, when Charlotte leaves the room for a smoke and Bob joins her, her head is next to the grey part of the wall. Cut to a front shot of them and her head is now on the zebra-patterned part.

Bill Murray gives a stunningly accurate take on a man facing a mid life crisis with a romantic interlude with a woman half his age. Japan has never looked more enticing.

Tried to be ethereal, but lacked substance. Did not like the characters. Felt sorry for his wife more than anyone else.

A delicate, ineffable film. It is better and means more than you think it should. Which is always the result of excellent direction.

Another one of those "mature" films about being lost in life. Not bad, and Murray is at a career best. Just not _that_ brilliant either.
