Genre: Drama
*ing: Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning
A fantastic story of a father and a daughter relationship. A father who is a Hollywood actor leading a spoiled life, however the loneliness is killing, pausing his life everyday .. his colorful life seems bland and blackwhite every morning when he wakes up ... that is ... until one fine day his ex-wife drops their 11year old daughter in his custody for sometime and the protagonist's life gets colorful and meaningful. The estranged father daughter chemistry between Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning is truly noteworthy, the screenplay drags but still holds ... lacks the holes that makes you loose interest mid-way. I would say the Direction and the storyline by Sofia Coppola makes it a rather interesting. Yes, she is the same one who directed 'Lost in translation' .... one of the most slowest yet interesting movies that I've ever come across. Bottom-line: For most people this is a movie I would say 'Skip' ... however ... if you've loved movies like 'Lost in Translation' or atleast found the movie palatable ... you should have a look at 'Somewhere' it's a good piece of work that deserves some appreciation.
