    Worth watching. Will leave you satisfied. Not just any crap

    A very Good film. Good performances by Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie. The lines, and the unpredictability of it, make it good. Every twist and turn with the characters, make it interesting. Maybe too long in some parts, which could lead the spectator feel a little bit of boredom or just "get on with it". But still, Colin Farell and Margot Robbie make a good pair in this dramatic romance. It doesn't leave you disappointed. At least I wasn't.

    Cleverly Scripted Predictdability

    There is little if any anticipation about the inevitability of a romcom, but few keep it fresh and intriguing as well as A Big Bold Beautiful Journey does. Seth Reiss delivers a unique screenplay, as two strangers meet at a mutual wedding are placed together to travel a pathway of their pasts that will ultimately bring them together.

    Kogonada gives simplistic direction that provides the opportunity for Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie to command their screen time. Robbie has potentially given herself the nod for a nominated award. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey whilst not a perfect film gives you enough laughs and keeps you thinking, if you could go back, would you?

    So slow

    A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is a visually striking and introspective film that, for better or worse, lives up to the contemplative style of director Kogonada. The movie follows a unique premise, with two strangers (Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell) navigating their pasts through mysterious, magical doorways. Both actors deliver nuanced, compelling performances, anchoring the film with a quiet intensity. The cinematography is often breathtaking, and the film's gentle, melancholic score creates a dreamlike atmosphere.

    However, the film's deliberate and unhurried pace is its most significant hurdle. While some will appreciate the slow-burn approach as a refreshing departure from standard Hollywood fare, others will find it frustratingly inert. The "journey" feels more like a series of disconnected, quiet moments than a cohesive narrative, and the refusal to rush its plot often makes the movie feel emotionally distant and slow. What could have been a truly epic and fantastical story is instead a muted, pensive character study. Ultimately, your enjoyment hinges on your patience for its meditative rhythm.

    Tomtom and Jerry

    "A Big Bold Beautful Journey" is one of those movies that I can understand why someone else wouldn't like it, but that I enjoyed quite a bit, probably for the same reasons.

    Having met at the wedding of a mutual friend, cynicism and emotional issues stop David (Colin Farrell) and Sarah (Margot Robbie) from taking a chance on each other. Having asked if he would like to go on a big bold beautiful adventure, Davids rental car satnav gets him to pick Sarah up, and together they embark on a trip, stopping at a series of doors, each of which takes them to a place in their individual history, where they can relive and examine the formative experiences, that make them who they are.

    The film that "ABBBJ" most reminded me of was "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". I wouldn't say the film is as good as that one, but the ideas are similar. It's a real-world start, but with fantastical elements introduced that eventually start to undermine the reality of the events, and then even the idea of the film itself. That is where the film is going to lose you if you're not in the mood, or of the mindset to go along with it. It's also not, perhaps, quite as funny as the trailer might suggest it is - with it quickly shifting to David and Sarah talking, at length, about their faults.

    Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie do have the chemistry that comes from both being amongst the most beautiful people that ever lived. The rest of the cast, including Kevin Kline, Lily Rabe and a fun turn from Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who rings as much comedy from her role as she can, are also good. Special mention for Hamish Linklater though, who had me in tears in his scene, though that's something to do with my personal circumstances, alongside his good performance.

    I do think it's going to be a film that you either love or hate, though the early box office just suggests an apathy to the whole endeavour which is disappointing.

    Enjoyable, spend the time, take the journey

    No it's not the greatest film and it does have a few misses but I had a good time with this. Obviously casting Margot Robbie is cheating. I'd watch her do absolutely nothing and enjoy it. But she does a great job with this and Colin Farrell is fine as well. I enjoyed the fantasy elements. They were fun. In fact the whole thing was fun. It tried to get a bit deep and meaningful and mostly succeeded when it went there. My small quibbles were the lack of shock and awe from the two leads when totally extraordinary things were happening and the final scene was just not quite right. What Colin should have said was "So, the kettle's hot, would you like a cup of tea?" If you've seen it you'll know what I mean. That was an ending I would have loved instead it got a bit mawkish. It wasn't the only script change I would have made and I will say my wife had a lot more. Then again she's not as keen on Margot as I am.
