    Fantastic. I'm a sucker for films about balancing the desire to pursue your passion with the personal relationships in your life, and given the tragedy that surrounds the film's protagonist, I enjoyed how tick, tick...BOOM explored that whilst keeping things mostly hopeful and joyous.

    Given the relatively scarce number of 21st century films featured on Roger Ebert's Great Movies list, I expected Lost in Translation to be, at the very least, really good. However, having just finished watching it, I can safely say that not only did it meet the lofty expectations I had for it, it managed to leave me absolutely spellbound. I loved this movie.
