Somewhere (2010)
This is the fourth film from Sofia Coppola and stars Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning. A film star lives in a hotel, sleeps with various attractive women and spends time with his daughter.
There are inevitable comparisons to be drawn with Lost in Translation (2003) as this film has a number of similar themes, loneliness and isolation. What is good about the film is the performance of Elle Fanning and the father/daughter relationship but otherwise the film does feel rather empty. While the film does draw a good character portrait it is pretty slim on development and resolution. In the end this is a watchable film but does feel very slow and repeats a lot of themes that Coppola did better in Lost in Translation.
3/5
