I thought it looked great, was well acted and directed. But I never really felt the bond that the characters had. It was great that there was ambiguity, as a Hollywood movie would have been cliched and probably turned into some sort of lame romantic comedy. I just didn't feel a real connection between them. For instance, totally different circumstances, but in another 'strangers meet' movie, Leaving Las Vegas, I felt that the two characters had a real bond and I could feel the pain each was going through. In 'Lost' I'm not positive what they were going through. Loneliness, sure, but it didn't really leap off of the screen at me. Was there a wish or hope for non-platonic love? I think so, but again, I wasn't getting strong vibes. How upset was Scarlett about her husband not being there and with his flirting with the actress? I think she was upset, but it was never really developed. Not that I wanted it to be deliberate, but I would have like more emotion. Also, Ribisi was underused.
I'd give it 3 1/2 stars. Very good, but not great.
Scarlett's ass in the beginning, of course, gets 5 stars
Finally, is it wrong that I think Sophia Coppola is cute in a weird sort of way???
