Review of Somewhere (2010) by Nick O — 05 Oct 2013
Sofia Coppola worked a dazzling mix of tragedy and recluse of sudden friendships in "Lost in Translation". With her fourth directorial effort, "Somewhere", the script is...well, just as teasing.
What we're left is a washed-up Hollywood actor played by Stephen Dorff, and the distant connection with his 11-year-old daughter, Elle Fanning. Its incredibly quiet style is either for you, or it isn't.
While Coppola the director as usual has fun bringing out the worldly emotional explorations of a single area, "Somewhere" is never heavy. She captures all the Zen, all the minute broken atmosphere of Dorff's character (Fanning, really, is a tiny portion of the movie.
) But it's up to you how much it all resonates. With me, it did a lot.
