On the Rocks is so much like Lost in Translation but it also feels like a wholly original experience at times too. While this new film may not be as emotional or as tight as its 2003 counterpart, it’s still a wonderful standout in a very strange 2020. Read more

On the Rocks is too tidy and too slick to entirely stand up to that comparison, but like Lost in Translation, there’s an autobiographical quality to the film that gives it a soul. Read more

On The Rocks is a fizzy, funny and insightful caper. Anchored in an entrancing chemistry between Rashida Jones and Bill Murray, this delightful romp is supported by an effortlessly witty repartee. Read more

On the Rocks is light-hearted and sweet, capturing an energetic relationship between a daughter and her father thanks to the on-screen chemistry between Bill Murray and Rashida Jones. Writer/director Sofia Coppola keeps things simple, delivering a story that feels familiar, yet benefits from its lived-in approach.

On the Rocks is just an alright coming-of-middle-age-film that is elevated immensely by an undeniably charming performance from Bill Murray. Read more

The interplay between Jones and Murray is the selling point of the film. There is a significant chemistry to their rapport that makes much of this film watchable. Read more

One the Rocks becomes another swirl for Sofia Coppola’s signature of defying expectations. While valuable for that level of challenging exploration to put dour on top of delight, that is a trajectory where charm exceeds its limits, and ours, to a degree. Read more

Perhaps no message is intended and it’s just entertainment. If so, On the Rocks can at best be described as a moderately amusing but pointless tale of a rocky marriage and a father-daughter relationship that never grew up. Read more

Delivered with a bourgeois, Woody Allen-esque vibe, the film is somewhat formulaic and undistinguished, with Murray’s amusing scenes being a poor trade-off for the inert course of events. Read more
