There are not many things that happened in "Somewhere", but as the audience's exploration of laziness gradually deepens, it can be seen that this is far from the laziness described by the screenwriter. Attentive audiences can notice the photographer's precise picture combination in the film, as well as the editor's meticulous arrangement of each scene and film theme. The film does not need to use any explanatory or flashback techniques to allow the audience to intuitively feel the hero's unsuccessful career and failed marriage. This is also due to the actor Stephen Dorff, who plays the leading role, who constantly improvises the image of his second-line actor in the film, and even has a true performance of his own bumpy acting career. This is reflected in his more lazy body language rather than dialogue. In the film, Stephen Dorff is topless most of the time, but the audience sees more of his vulnerability rather than emptiness. And Mary Elle Fanning, who played his daughter, cooperated with him just right, effortlessly making their relationship on the screen very convincing

"Somewhere" further established the director Sofia Carmina Coppola's personalized director style. She has not let go of the film and television circle she is familiar with, the lens is straight into the heart, and with the help of the protagonist’s experience in publicizing the premiere of a starring work, she closely demonstrated the propaganda operation of the film’s later stage from the inside; professional performance for film media reporters , Made a sarcastic satire, and from this, it subtly portrays the transformation and fragility of a man's heart when he wakes up. In the poetic and delicate description of the film, although the pen is very light, it can touch the most important part of the audience's heart. The film has a mature and calm, especially calm and cold humor, inadvertently interspersed with it, making this sad story, but it is often uncontrollable. The director tells a story, but shows human emotions, coupled with the consistent strict control of the soundtrack, creating a unique image world belonging to Sofia Carmina Coppola
