Not at all like the trailer/previews.. Given the pedigreed director/producers involved, this film is suprisingly poor in the Editing department. Very slow, with many many over-long shots where the camera "lingers" for about three times longer than necessary (starting with the very first / opening shot of the lead actor driving his car around a track).. The first dialog doesn't even happen until about 15 mins into the movie... Very tiring to watch.

This is a slow-developing, blase case study of the empty, aimless life of a movie star. It's less nuanced and playful than Lost in Translation, and can be pretty dull in spots. On the bright side, Elle Fanning adds charm and light to the story. In sum, fame is a cage.

Another brilliant film by Sofia Coppola. I took it as a story of an a-list actor who has everything he could ever want and nothing at the same time. Then his 11 year old daughter comes along and he starts to think about what he's doing with his life, and ultimately where he is going to take it. Superb acting from Stephen Dorff, Elle Fanning, and a surprisingly well acted role by Chris Pontius. It portrays it quite well how you can be in the public spotlight, have fans fawning over you constantly, have people around you continuously and still be as isolated as a man stranded in the desert. It's simple and it's beautiful, says a lot without saying much. I'm sure most people will find it boring, because most of the general public has awful tastes in movies.
