Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
...charged with some of the same inchoate longing of Hiroshima, Mon Amour and employs some of the same guerilla production tactics of Godard's Breathless

Looking Closer
Johansson [plays Charlotte] perfectly, with the kind of intelligent beauty that could bring Krzysztof Kieslowski out of his grave to cast her in a new Colors film.

The performances are a bit too underplayed to suit me, but the melancholy film is both funny and fascinating.

Top CriticIn Japan, the most extreme delicacy goes hand in hand with garishness, and Coppola offers up both for our delectation. It's a heady, hallucinatory combo.
Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
As in Rushmore...kindness is the underlying trait of Murray's character.

Senses of Cinema
The intensity of Lost in Translation lies in its smaller, seemingly insignificant, quieter moments. In many ways Coppola's film exhibits marks of classic European art cinema.
Las Vegas CityLife
May-December romances have been done to death, but Coppola's tender touch and knack for nuance practically reinvents the genre.
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Like the sort of fleeting, quietly intense relationship that it portrays, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation amounts to a handful of stolen moments -- and a lot more than the sum of them.
Norman Transcript
The ending packs an emotional wallop, a moment as magical as anything you will see at the movies this year.

The movie should have been a masterpiece of mood and character, and it almost is, revolving as it does around two wonderful performances.

Murray has been singing songs to us ever since his old days on Saturday Night Live, but never like this.

Sería terrible quedarse en la superficie y no dejarse arrastrar por las sensaciones que propone esta película.

Ms. Coppola is well on her way to becoming a talent in her own right, and Lost in Translation is a great next step in that journey.
