More than two decades later, this is still Sofia Coppola's best film. An exquisite dramedy that stays with you long after the credits roll. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 27, 2025

[The] backdrop of night-time Tokyo as an alien landscape against which the couple delicately explore each other's ambiguous feelings, this talented young director has produced a sad, funny, magical and almost irresistibly moving experience.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 8, 2024

The culture has shifted in the two decades since Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson bonded in a Tokyo hotel for LOST IN TRANSLATION, one of Sophia Coppola's best.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 14, 2024

Just like the final words of Sofia Coppola’s film, the best parts of the movie are left indecipherable...

| Sep 29, 2023

Sofia Coppola’s sophomore film is another exploration of delicate relationships and uncommunicated frustrations, this one in a beautifully composed atmosphere of isolation.

It remains mesmerizing all these years later, even upon repeat viewings.

Life stops being terrifying when we open the doors to the unknown. Even for a short amount of time. Coppola's "Lost in Translation" is written beautifully. Full review in Spanish

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 7, 2022

Lost in Translation respectfully tackles the subject of companionship and relationships while still providing laughs. Its a film that I regretfully waited too long to view, but grateful to have found this gem.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 18, 2022

Murray, playing an extension of himself, fills the role with ease, and Johansson is right in step with him.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 9, 2020

What Coppola presents is something akin to a mindfulness session - the art of being present in the moment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 16, 2020

I can never remember the plot, but who cares. The emotional throughline is crystal clear.

| Jul 1, 2020

...its pretty images of Tokyo and oddball intergenerational friendship coalesce into something unexpectedly moving...

| Mar 16, 2020

Like her debut film, The Virgin Suicides, Coppola creates a beautiful-looking film with depth and texture, along with a couple of outstanding performances from its lead actors.

A marvellous, exquisite movie.

| Jan 11, 2018

Depicts a very specific mental state too shaded and delicate for most movies to feel comfortable approaching it.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 29, 2013

Excellent but mature film about finding a connection.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 25, 2010

A relationship picture with elegant connective tissue; it's brittle and real, focused on the nuances of body language and unspoken desire, while indulging in a cheeky bit of knowing absurdity when the mood strikes.

| Original Score: A | Dec 28, 2009

...a deceptively simple study in unrequited attraction that succeeds in spite of minor problems with neglected sub-plots.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 13, 2009

An excellent top notch gem with beautiful direction courtesy of Sofia Coppola...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 29, 2009

Wonderfully warm and witty.
