Somewhere -- Film Review

After her foray into historical costumers with "Marie Antoinette," Sofia Coppola makes a happy return to "Lost in Translation" territory in the cutback charmer "Somewhere," which illuminates the emptiness of a movie star's life in Los Angeles through close observation and gentle irony.

Despite its subject, Coppola seems to be exercising more of her European than American sensibility in the small-scale intimacy of this portrait. Lacking the stars of Translation, it might not go quite as far with audiences but still can count on a strong critical push.
