	Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of Lost in Translation
		“Lost in Translation” is a slighter film than I expected but Bill Murray keeps it entertaining and does a fine job of emoting the exhaustion and frustration of being so far from home and helpless in what seems to be a failing marriage.
		"Lost in Translation" epitomizes the cultural clash of East and West, but the May/September romance of the outsiders at its core is clearly spoken and Coppola leaves us with one of the most romantic partings in movie memory.
		I was not a fan of “Virgin Suicides” but, with Bill Murray as the lead, I anticipated “Lost in Translation,” at least to see the wonderfully droll comic actor perform – I always believed that his terrific performance in “Rushmore” was one of that year’s most overlooked.

	Lost in Translation Movie Review - Lost in Translation Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe

	Sofia Coppola Talks About "Lost In Translation," Her Love Story That's Not "Nerdy"

	The Flick Filosopher Lost in Translation, American Splendor, The Station Agent
		There's not a moment that fake or false or resorts to filmic artifice in Lost in Translation, and yet, conversely, it's the very artificiality of American Splendor that grounds it in an everyday reality that's so palpable and so sharply melancholy that it takes your breath away.
		But nothing is lost in the translation of bringing this naturalistic tale to life, stripping the clichéd "male midlife crisis" bare and turning it into a turning point that we all, male and female, can identify with.
		To walk away from a film full of that kind of magic is to walk away on air, like you're lighter and smarter and wiser and more fully human for having seen it.

	NBC11.com - Entertainment - Review: 'Lost In Translation' Is A Clear Winner
		"Lost In Translation" doesn't need a translator to get laughs or get to the heart of what is human in all of us -- the vital need to find a connection with other people.
		Now, Coppola has taken on a much bigger-scale film -- but at the core it is still a character-driven story focusing on two lost souls who make a profound connection with each other, despite their age difference.
		Both characters may be lonely and a bit lost as to their role in life, but they are not at all pathetic.

		Lost in Translation - The Interpreter is all high-minded stodginess and no thrills.

	Lost in Translation
		The more I reflect on it, the more Lost in Translation seems perfectly consistent with Coppola's earlier film, The Virgin Suicides, another picture in which the opaque mysteries of being a young woman were virtually taken as a given.
		Maybe Lost in Translation isn't the story of a special, soulful communion after all but the story of a desperate pair thrown into friendship because everyone else in the universe is a stooge or a harpy.
		Ultimately, I believe that Lost in Translation wants to be a love-letter to contemporary Tokyo and a love-letter to the totally unique connections that human beings make with each other when they feel disconnected from the things that normally frame their lives.

	Lost in Translation (2003): Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Anna Faris - PopMatters Film Review
		In that moment, they're both lost in translation, and their connection, as they agree to misunderstand, is far more affecting than any other in the film, including Bob and Charlotte's.
		Lost in Translation one-ups its peers with better music, prettier shots, and a more charismatic lead, but its racism is all the more insidious for being wrapped in a pleasing package.
		True, it would undermine the whole "lost in translation" theme if Coppola provided subtitles for the monolingual, English-speaking audience, but in encouraging viewers to feel as stranded as Bob and Charlotte, she also has them adopt their troubling view of Tokyo as an exotic yet tiresome playground.

		Not only do they find a connection in feeling lost in a strange place, little by little they realize they both face self-doubt and uncertainties.
