Did I watch the same movie as everyone else?

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2020)

My dad gave me the dvd 'Lost In Translation' a while ago, and I finally got around to watching it yesterday. I was pretty excited as I always love the movies my dad recommends. However, this film REALLY bored me. I watched it all the way through so I could write a fair review, and after watching I just thought to myself 'what was the point?'. Now, the reason I gave this a 5/10 and not 1 is because there was absolutely nothing wrong the the acting, directing etc, just the plot. It was non existent. Just two people meet in Japan and hang out, then he leaves. I have to admit, I did laugh, once. Looking through the user reviews for this film, all I can see are 10s, and critics reviews... Roger Ebert loved it, but hated The Usual Suspects? I don't understand. I'm not saying this movie is terrible, but I just don't understand why it gets praised so much.
