From Miguel Gomes, the award winning director of Tabu and Arabian Nights, comes a globe-trotting tale of unrequited love. Earning Gomes the Best Director prize at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, Grand Tour blends melodrama and screwball comedy in this cat-and-mouse chase between lovers. 1917, colonial Burma. Edward, a civil servant for the British Empire, jilts his lovestruck fiancée Molly the day she arrives to be married. As he escapes into an unexpected odyssey across Asia, she quickly follows suit amused by his moves. Rendered in stunning black-and-white period visuals interspersed with modern-day documentary footage, Grand Tour--Portugal's Best International Feature entry to the 97th Academy Awards®--is a dazzling multi-city symphony that will leave audiences reeling with wonder.

Critics Consensus

Director Miguel Gomes continues to leverage the possibilities of cinema to explore passion and time in this globetrotting lark, richly realized in striking black-and-white photography.

If you can roll with atmospherics that are their own reason for being, “Grand Tour” has plenty, and they’re all beautifully realized.

Rated: 3/4

Natalia Winkelman

New York Times

Beauty is pleasurable, but the film’s use of evocative visuals to focus on storytelling more broadly is what makes it a quiet knockout.

Alex Lei

AV Club

Gomes picks apart an imagined past by experiencing its present, at the same time sharply unpacking the screwball comedy by separating the running man and the pursuing woman.

Rated: B+

... an acquired taste for those unfamiliar with Gomes’ previous work, but patience in the deliberately paced story is rewarded with sumptuous craftsmanship.

[T]he movie's extended punch line is obvious and becomes a bit repetitive.

Rated: 2.5/4

Gomes disrupts the conventional logic of adventure cinema and proposes a narrative where archival images and contemporary recordings overlap, creating a sensorial experience that defies categorization. [Full review in Spanish]
