A quiet, studied film that ruminates over isolation.

| Feb 16, 2021

Daddario is good in every project she takes on, but here her talents are wasted; there is little here to stretch her.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 8, 2021

There is... something well controlled in the movie as it maintains its cool, even pace and Alexandra Daddario's performance as the vulnerable, secretive yet emotionally open Margaret is smart.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 4, 2021

Well-acted, well-executed, and bathed in the moody atmosphere of Tokyo's underworld, Lost Girls & Love Hotels is unquestionably a beauty to look at ... but the film never finds firm footing in its pointless storytelling and lethargic pacing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 19, 2020

It's an act of sharing between Hanrahan, the filmmakers, the cast, and the viewers, and this is what makes it a rewarding experience.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 8, 2020

This is one of the better intimate dramas of the year.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 25, 2020

The movie could have dived into an explosive Yakuza shoot-em-up ending, or it could have gone down a more lurid path, attempting to titillate with the sex, but instead, every scene is about lostness, about forever yearning and searching and not finding.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 24, 2020

Too vapid to work as a psychological drama, too silly to work as a passionate romance, and too tepid to work as a sexy guilty pleasure.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 23, 2020

Seedy BDSM sexual drama has nudity, language.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 22, 2020

This is a sober portrait of a woman in trouble, whose depressive, compulsive and self-destructive tendencies lead her down a dangerous road.

| Sep 21, 2020

As a journey of redemption and self-discovery, it's neither sexy nor suspenseful.

| Sep 19, 2020

Lost Girls & Love Hotels may not have a profound answer to the universal human dilemma of seeking connection, but in exploring the questions it gives us some food for thought.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2020

Even outside its constant Orientalism, Lost Girls and Love Hotels shoots itself in the foot at almost every opportunity.

| Sep 18, 2020

Thanks to Daddario's performance, Lost Girls is at least a compelling look at the seedier side of Japan through the entrancing eyes of an American woman on the verge of collapse.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 18, 2020

Even a mood piece needs an arc or some point to all its wallowing, a fact that Lost Girls seems to have forgotten. Without that, the movie can't be saved, not even by its thoughtful, handsome production.

| Sep 18, 2020

A persuasive depiction of aimless hedonism.

Alexandra Daddario is the reason why this film works.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 17, 2020

Olsson's film works as an atmospheric mood piece and sometime erotic drama. It's less successful as a character study.

| Sep 17, 2020

It's a real treat to see Daddario sink her teeth into a substantial part, doing a marvelous job communicating joylessness briefly interrupted by a flash of hope.

| Original Score: B | Sep 17, 2020

One could look at it as a PSA against self-loathing, but mostly it's just a really bad movie.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 17, 2020
