A little lost on me

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2015)

Lost in Translation is well regarded as being a modern classic and while I wouldn't argue that it is a very good film, it isn't one that would make me rush to see it again.
Don't get me wrong, Bill Murray in particular gives a very good performance and shines in every scene he is in. The relationship between the two main characters feels genuine and there is no doubt that the final scene is both highly romantic and beautiful even without words being said.
For me though there were one too many slow moments and scenes that didn't add particularly that much. And it's only a short film in terms of length anyway, so these moments felt emphasised more.
Overall though a good film and I can see why it is so beloved by so many.
