Few filmmakers can bring a rut to life like Sofia
Coppola. When her characters are in a funk,
whether it’s a Hollywood actor in between jobs,
a few lost souls in a foreign place or a Queen,
it’s never the stuff of melodrama. She has an
eye for the comedic banalities of the everyday
like the excruciating awkwardness of a stilted
conversation or, as in her latest “ On the Rocks,”
the image of an overwhelmed mother trying
to nap in the glaring sunlight while a Roomba
bangs its way through the apartment.
