In 2003, Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray starred in a movie based on Sofia Coppola‘s own divorce from Spike Jonze and her lonely travels through Japan, and 25 years later, it still holds up as one of fans’ favorite films of all time. The rom-com-turned-“anti-romance” story, Lost In Translation, is one of the actors’ most critically acclaimed projects to date.
The movie’s plot is centered around a fading movie star and a neglected married young woman who come to be unlikely soulmates in Tokyo, according to its synopsis. “Released mere months before the two filmmakers filed for divorce, it hinted at some of the “irreconcilable differences” the pair cited as the reason for their split,” per Collider.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the flick earned a 95% Tomatometer score with 235 reviews, and an 85% Popcornmeter rating, collecting over 250K notes from fans. “Revisited for the first time in many years, writer-director Sofia Coppola’s platonic romance remains beautiful and evocative. It captures sleeplessness, feeling lost in a foreign context, flirtation, and much else besides with an effortless grace. From the screenplay to the cinematography, and especially the performances of the two leads, the film’s constituent parts combine with subtlety that belies the film’s quiet power. Few of those involved have done better work,” one viewer raved in July 2026.
Meanwhile, it was well received by critics, too. “With this film it becomes clear that Sofia Coppola is a filmmaker with eyes all her own,” Newsweek‘s David Ansen said in 2007.
TIME‘s Richard Corliss noted in 2008, “Lost in Translation revels in contradictions. It’s a comedy about melancholy, a romance without consummation, a travelogue that rarely hits the road,” and Variety‘s David Rooney echoed that sentiment: “Very much a mood piece, the film’s deft balance of humor and poignancy makes it both a pleasurable and melancholy experience.”
The film earned an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, three Golden Globes in the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Murray, and Best Screenplay categories, and three BAFTA Awards: Best Actor in a Leading Role for Murray, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Johansson, and Best Editing for Sarah Flack.
In a fan poll by Empire, the hit was ranked No. 93 on a list of the best films of all time. “As listless college grad Charlotte and world-weary actor Bob, Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray share an ineffable chemistry, offering beautifully understated performances as two people whose geographic and emotional sense of dislocation in Tokyo is simultaneously what brings them together and, ultimately, what keeps them apart, too,” the outlet wrote. “As well as that karaoke scene, its ending, in which Bill Murray’s Bob whispers words we never hear into Charlotte’s ear, is an all-timer.”
Lost In Translation is available for streaming via Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime.
