A review of the new film “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey”
This romantic fantasy is worth seeing for the cast. Good-looking, talented and eminently watchable Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie play David and Sarah, strangers who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding and there are cameos from Kevin Kline and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Unfortunately, aside from the cast, there is too little to commend this work from Korean-American director Kogonada (real name Park Joong Eun). The fault is the script by someone called Seth Reiss. The idea is that the GPS from a rented car takes the protagonists to a series of doorways that enables then to revisit and revise earlier memories. Sadly the notion comes over as too slow and too fragmented to work effectively.
