I’ve always loved this kind of story—estranged fathers reconnecting with their daughters which is why Somewhere kinda resonated with me.

Watching Johnny interact with Cleo made me reflect on my own relationship with my father.

I kept wondering what happens when people ask him about me. Does he pause and try to think of something to say? Or does he just say I’m doing fine and leave it at that because that’s all he really knows?

And I still love him even if that’s all I am to him.

He knows I’m okay. He knows I’m living my life, that I don’t need him financially, that I’ve learned how to stand on my own. And maybe that makes it easier for him not to ask more.

But I’m here… still wishing he cared enough to know more.

Boring and a waste of time.

This film, while visually stunning, feels so empty. And maybe that's intentional; the boredom that Johnny feels living life as a celebrity gets transferred to the viewer while he pulls himself out of his funk and reconnects with Cleo. But it just felt like the film dragged on and on with little respite. Elle Fanning gave a great performance, and there were some truly heartwarming father-daughter moments, but they weren't enough to save the film, and I don't think I'll be watching it again.
