Reviews

‘There’s not a word or a wistful glance out of place in Sofia Coppola’s offbeat comedy drama.;
★★★★★
Stella Papamichael, BBC

‘Lost in Translation revels in contradictions. It’s a comedy about melancholy, a romance without consummation, a travelogue that rarely hits the road.’
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
