Somewhere (2010)
Sofia WHO??? Poor dad...
11 April 2011
First of all, i don't need to check the "contains spoiler" box because there is simply NO plot! One of the worst movies i (and my cineaste friends) have ever watched by such a big name in the cinema.

The movie does not follow any of the screenplay writing rules... oh wait, there is NO screenplay actually. The over all script must have been 4 pages long (and i'm being quite nice)... And as you guys may know, 4 pages = 4 minutes. Everybody can have a bad day... Yes A bad day. Because writing the screenplay must have taken about 30 minutes max. Did they lose the original script and had a deadline? Possibly... At least, that's how it looks. So you would say genius? No, not really... Master piece wannabe, but failed miserably.

An 8 million budget? Sounds like money laundry...

If you like shallowness, i would suggest "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". Other option, I can shoot my see-through window curtains during 90 minutes, I am quite certain there will at least be some interesting moments. However, if you would like to learn how to actually make Art out of shallowness, i would suggest "The Limits of Control" by Jim Jarmusch. Do you know that feeling when you are trying to super-glue a hanger on your door and have to hold it strong during the longest 60 seconds of your life, well extend this moment 90 times.

What is the message of the movie? No matter how successful and famous you are, you can be miserable if your life is empty? Woooowwwww...

The most exciting part of the movie was actually writing this review to release the anger i am feeling after having wasted 90 minutes of my life while i could have actually super-glued 90 hangers on my window to which i am planning to dedicate 90 minutes of my first own movie.
