One of the best movies I have ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2005)

This is a wonderful film, it's not action packed, there are no sex scenes and it doesn't need it. It is fairly slow paced and quiet film. It is about a girl called Charlotte who is staying in Tokyo with her workaholic photographer husband and a film star called Bob who is in the city alone making a commercial. They both feel empty for their own reasons, and they are lost in Tokyo. They are an unlikely couple but they form an intense emotional bond and friendship after meeting in the hotel. I cannot begin to tell you how much this film touched me, you can feel everything by just looking into the characters eyes. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johannson play their roles amazingly. Not a lot needs to be said sometimes, you can just feel what they are thinking and feel their connection. I can relate so much to this film as I recently moved to America from England, to be with my husband who has a very demanding and time consuming job. In fact he is out of town right now. It touched me so much that the actors and director could capture the feelings I have on film so well. The loneliness, the feeling of not belonging, the lost and confused emotions. I can relate to Charlotte so much. I always liked Bill Murray but hadn't seen much of Scarlett Johannson before this film, now she is possibly my favorite actress. This film also had some extremely funny moments! It makes you feel so many emotions and it makes you think. I have watched this film over and over and will never get sick of it. It is definitely a 10/10
