Somewhere
Dir: Sofia Coppola
2010
****
A very simple story told beautifully. The direction is exquisite, Sofia Coppola letting every scene linger but without ever overstaying their welcome. The cast is well chosen with a few interesting surprises. The real selling point of this film though is its flow, it drifts effortlessly making it a very easy film to watch. Sofia Coppola seems to have developed a signature style after only a few films, it's this woozy but very real feel about her films that I think people either love or hate but it's amazing how she makes it work every time across very different genres. It's breath of fresh air compared to old Hollywood and, dare I say it, films like her Dad now makes.
