100 Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan The fact that this kind of serious material ends up playing puckishly funny as well as poignant is a tribute both to Coppola and to her do-or-die decision to cast Murray in the lead role. 100 Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum Whats astonishing about Sofia Coppolas enthralling new movie is the precision, maturity, and originality with which the confident young writer-director communicates so clearly in a cinematic language all her own. 100 San Francisco Chronicle Edward Guthmann A delicate, beautifully observed study of impossible romance, Lost in Translation is one of the best films this year. 100 Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern Giddily funny in a singularly American idiom, and shot, by Lance Acord, with an eagle eye for cultural absurdities, Ms. Coppolas film is also a meditation on love and longing, shot through with a sensibility thats all the more surprising for being so unfashionably tender. 100 Boston Globe Ty Burr Longer on atmosphere and observation than on story, but you dont mind: Coppola maintains her quietly charged tone with a certainty that would be unbelievable in a second film if you didnt suspect genetics had a hand. 100 Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey This years must-see film. 100 Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt Smart, funny, and splendidly acted. 100 ReelViews James Berardinelli Simply put, Sofia Copollas Lost in Translation is an amazing motion picture. 90 The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt The movie contains priceless slapstick from Bill Murray, finely tuned performances by Murray and the beautiful Scarlett Johansson and a visual and aural design that cultivates a romantic though melancholy mood. 88 Rolling Stone Peter Travers Dont stall about seeing Sofia Coppolas altogether remarkable Lost in Translation. Its a class-act liftoff for the fall movie season. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson give performances that will be talked about for years. 88 USA Today Mike Clark Romantic comedies with two low-key leads can be asking for trouble, but one senses that the actors must have clicked on some fundamental level. 88 New York Daily News Jack Mathews A smartly written, confidently directed film that delivers big laughs while developing two of the years most earnest characters and some of its most rewarding sentiments.
