When I watch a Sofia Coppola movie, I feel the Hollywood royalty stars lining up and truly blessing us with something special. That’s not to say that On the Rocks is the director’s best work, it might even be her weakest effort, but even saying that, this is another delightful and more mature effort from the Oscar winner. And she’s reunited with Bill Murray, long after their stellar work in Lost in Translation, and working with lead actor Rashida Jones who has more in common with Coppola than anyone could imagine. On the Rocks is a light drama, about Laura (Jones) and her father Felix (Bill Murrary), bonding together over the fears that her husband might be having an affair; But what is discovered is more about self and family relationships that never came to light.
