A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025)

Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.

The story follows David (Colin Farrell) and Sarah (Margo Robbie), two completely beautiful people, that meet by chance, connect, separate, then end up on a mutually traveled journey of self-discovery that will test every notion either has about themselves, their tendencies when it comes to love, and all the elements from their pasts that have shaped it. Admittedly, this is not only straight drama, as there is some humor thrown in at given times, but it is also a fantasy tale, which is really what provides the film with a truly charming and enchanting air, emotional appeal, and ultimately stirring portrait of our faults and virtues.
