Critics Consensus

It covers familiar territory for Sofia Coppola, but Somewhere remains a hypnotic, seductively pensive meditation on the nature of celebrity, anchored by charming performances from Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning.

...one of the great cinematic portraits of a city.

Somewhere has its funny moments, and its clever moments, but the blankness and passivity of the central character make it peculiarly remote, as if you were watching it from a million miles away.

Somewhere is like a slow-moving bullet with no clear aim.

1.5/4

Sofia Coppola's 2003 Lost in Translation was such an unblinking masterpiece -- one of the two or three best films of its entire decade -- that it's a shock to witness the near-worthlessness of Somewhere.

4/5

Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere starts off unlikeable, but those who persist will be rewarded with a moving examination of the importance of our relationships.

Overall I found it to be an enjoyable but a slow, quiet watch. If you are a fan of Coppola’s work, seek this out...

This is far from Sofia Coppola's best work, but it is a good film. I recommend. 84/100

'Somewhere' goes nowhere. It treads in similar territory as Lost in Translation but lacks the magic that made Lost in Translation work.

A great Hollywood film, shot at the Chateau Marmont. Its meandering, plotless story follows a leading man as he goes about his life spending time promoting films, posing for a special effects mask, and spending time with his daughter. Sofia Coppola has an insider perspective to really make this film great, and it is.

A rare movie that captures what its like to be famous, and hate it. The lead actor does a marvelous job. People don't like this movie because everyone wants to be famous, until they are.

One of my fav of Coppora's film. This is so heartwarming, and I adore Elle's innocence in this film.
