Critics Consensus

Too solemn to have much fun with its high concept while also too saccharine for its wistful themes to resonate, this well-meaning odyssey never quite lives up to its title.

Audience Says

The dividends of this Journey may depend on how much of A Big Bold Beautiful cheese your stomach can tolerate, but for those seeking vibrant colors and heart, it may pay in spades.

The Travers Take

Sorry Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell. Your movie without commas is also minus a sense of shame about how awful it is to endure this big bold beautiful botch job.

Rated: 1/4

Observer (UK)

The problem is this self-consciously wacky and contrived fantasy feels gratingly synthetic and insincere. And despite the considerable appeal of the two leads, we don’t even buy their chemistry together.

Kogonada consistently invites his characters to rediscover the familiar with fresh eyes.

It’s unclear what A Big Bold Beautiful Journey wants to be, but it’s certainly an honest reflection of people at their most sincere.

What it seems to have come down to is “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” was asking too much of some viewers (and critics), who prefer straight-ahead narratives uncomplicated by tonal shifts. Take a chance on it and go with the flow. It’s worth the trip.

Rated: 3/5

Boston Hassle

The film suffers from the absence of a push or pull, denouncing any stake between the two characters to make it or break it at the end.

A good movie to get you thinking about how reviewing how our past choices can reshape how we move forward with our lives and make better choices and be better people. Treat ourselves better and others better.

We liked that there was no blood and guts, no sex scenes and no gun violence. We liked they way doors were used to go back in time and few life at different stages of each of their lives that were an emotional turning point.
