Critics widely praised Murray's performance as Bob, commending his handling of a more serious role that was combined with the comic persona for which he was already broadly known. Writing for Slate, David Edelstein argued that it was "the Bill Murray performance we've been waiting for", adding that "his two halves have never come together as they do here, in a way that connects that hilarious detachment with the deep and abiding sense of isolation that must have spawned it". [87] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly regarded Murray's performance as Oscar-worthy and lauded it as his "most vulnerable and unmannered" to date; she praised his treatment of a more delicate role as well as his improvisations in the film's comic sequences. [88] The New York Times critic Elvis Mitchell had similar praise, calling Lost in Translation "Mr. Murray's movie" and remarking that the actor "supplies the kind of performance that seems so fully realized and effortless that it can easily be mistaken for not acting at all".

Uprkos poteškoćama u komunikaciji, ovaj tim će postati jedna koherentna, čvrsto povezana grupa koja će složno hrliti ka svom cilju. Odnosi koji se među njima stvaraju polako se razvijaju paralelno sa samom potragom pekinškog čoveka, preklapajući se sa podjednako beznadežnim traganjem za nestalom suprugom jednog od arheologa. Autor kroz ove redove beleži neverovatnu mešavinu emocija, nade i očaja, čežnju za pripadanjem (negde, nekome) kao i ožiljke nanete sputavanjem, gotovo gušenjem (nemoguće) ljubavi. Ljubav u svim mogućim oblicima – ljudskom, seksualnom, božanskom, ljubav između nacije i njene istorije, čoveka i njegove prošlosti, oca i njegove ćerke – vodi priču do njenog završetka kojim ne možete ostati ravnodušni.

While Mones seems to be exploring issues of race and taboo, her treatment of them is finally muddled. Still, her search for (...) that enigmatic place where man and woman fall in love is thought-provoking, sometimes disturbing and undeniably entertaining." [3]
