Review of Somewhere (2010) by Steven C — 18 Feb 2011
Every one of Sofia Coppola's films have been an deeply emotional experience for me. Watching "Somewhere" was on a whole other level though, it bordered on a religious experience. This film was so tender and emotional, so transporting and beautiful, so honest and clear that it's almost a miracle.
This film is extremely personal with images that will haunt you. Sofia gently takes you deep inside these characters with cinematography and composition that tell the story over dialogue and plot. Everything seemed so natural and transcendent.
Those two adjectives perfectly describe the performances by Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning, as well. This film will certainly not be for everyone, but for those who are willing to let "Somewhere" cast it's effecting spell over them, you are in for a powerful and dizzying experience.
"Somewhere" is officially my favorite film of 2010.
