Review of Somewhere

Somewhere (2010)
2/10
The audience has to do all the work
20 April 2016
This is a very odd movie: we as the audience have to do all the work!

Is there a plot? No. You have to imagine it. Is there a script? No: you have to imagine that, too.

I spent the entire movie waiting for something to happen. Nothing ever did!

OK, it was a very pleasant wait: the scenery is very attractive, and most of it is scantily-clad. So if you like looking at women in a state of undress (I do!) then you will at least have something to do while you imagine a story to go with the visuals.

There is one stand-out: the sound. Many of the scenes are shot with ambient sound, and it is beautifully captured. As a former sound man myself, I know how hard this would have been to do.

Everything else: that's up to your imagination!
