This movie is a puzzle, a puzzle I solve differently each viewing. There are a number of possible "answers" to the central question, but I absolutely love that Jarmusch never gives you THE answer, so no interpretation is wrong. The film just plays like jazz, it's laid back with a strange energy that keeps you with it. Each visit is wonderful in it's own way, and leaves you wondering, was it her?

It's a nice little flick but I couldn't stop thinking to myself why doesn't he explain to those people the reason of his visit. Of course, not all action has to be revealed, I'm just assuming he did NOT. So good ol' Don's just one messed-up hombre who buys sandwiches. He should have spent those 90 minutes looking for Sherry or something.

There's a haunting existential crisis at the core of this film; what happens when even the most unexpected, odd moments of our life are bound by endless repetition? Jarmusch and his lead character Don search for the meaning within the mundane, hoping to find those small, brilliant and seemingly insignificant moments hidden somewhere in the mess.

Bill NOT ploughing both Sharon and her daughter was the definite lowlight of this film for me.

I enjoyed watching this movie. It's storyline was intriguing and truthful. While I enjoy the open endedness of Jim Jarmusch films I felt this one was way to open. Or maybe it was the lack of depth to Bill Murray's Character. Ether way I should be left contemplating but I am not.

Though I had seen this in 2005, and gave it high marks, I watched it again last night by chance, and I realized I cannot understand anything that Jeffrey Wright was saying. Bill Murray is a delight here though and anytime Julie Delpy is in anything I am paying attention. Unlike anything else Jarmusch has ever done. But I guess you could say that about any one of his films.

This and Rushmore are Bill Murray's best attempts at any possible type of foray into dramatic acting (which is not meant to disparage his comedic acting at all, that's obviously great stuff).

I loved this movie. I can't put my finger on what it was, possibly Bill Murray's super dry, almost depressed character. I'm a sucker for literal journeys, so maybe that could be it. Regardless, it kept me entertained and the ending was so awesome to me.

I understand why some people would find this slow or without plot. It doesn't have a conventional plot. Jarmusch is one of the director's I most admire, so simple yet emotional, beautiful and truthful. It's a great simple movie. The ending is amazing in it's openness and intelligent. Postmodern too. And the use of the music is to be studied.

I enjoyed Murray in this very much, everything blended together nicely, sure it's a bit slow, but life isn't a face-paced adventure. you have to see this through his eyes, and through his emotions

Murray is really good here but the movie is kind of blah. Certainly not one of Jarmusch's best.
