The performances were great and much more understated than I expected. Murray's and Johansson's relationship, its alternations between sexual tension, father/daughter intimacy, and friendship is very believable. There were moments when Coppola betrays that she has some maturing yet to do (I have no objections to the opening ass-shot per se, but what's its point in the film? And where went the understatement during Ribisi's embarrassingly patent flirtation, in the presence of his wife whom he egregiously attempts not to introduce, with the vacuous actress?), but on the whole it's a very solid film, and a considerable leap from The Virgin Suicides.
