Lost in Translation is one of the most beautifully directed films of the past 10 years. It is filled with real human emotion that affects all our lives in different doses. Its long silent scenes are able to express such depth to the character's inner being without any words. It is not appropriate for young children but an intelligant 12 year old can get something special out of it. However, most teenagers will have trouble sitting though a piece they might find rather boring. Bill Murray gives one of the best performances of his career and Scarlett Johanson is able to hold her own with on of the very best modern actors. This is a movie that will stay with you for a long time to come and both adult and children a like can get something worth while out it.

An amazing movie! One of my very favorites. And CSM's review on this film is totally wrong...did they watch the same movie I did? It's actually pretty clean for an R-rated film, there's one raunchy strip club scene but besides that it would definitely earn a PG-13 rating. They say it has very strong language but I bet there were less than 10 cuss words througout, and not one of them was the F-word. Wierd.

Blew me away....
I can say two words and I know everyone will be interested in what I have to say.....Bill Murray......Well, it turns my head anyway. When I first herd Murray was in this movie, I flushed. Murray in a serious, not comic, role. Something wasn't right. Sofia Coppola must have made a mistake. But he blew me away...the whole flim did. I was a flim that people who have been lost with themselves can relate to. Or, if you found some special in your life, but them have them taken off you, gone and never to be found again. The movie touched my heart and soul. Rarely that happens. It connected with me, you know? Thats why it is my favourite flim ever. Best Wishes, MovieFreak101 This flim is ok for: 15+

horrible
The movie was immoral from the start with a bare womens bottom. Don't waste your time. The movie should just be called "lost"

Absolutely loved it
Really wonderful acting by both Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanssen. If you've spent any time in the Far East on business or lived as an expat, you'll be in hysterics.
This is an R movie and not for kids under 17.

Great for adults, not for kids
As an adult I enjoyed this movie but I would not recommend sharing it with a kid under 17.
