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.

Greetings again from the darkness. I'm not normally the target market for romantic philosophy-of-life movies, so it seems apropos that one I connect with is likely to be labeled maudlin or sappy by others. Being a big fan of director Kogonada's underrated COLUMBUS (2017), I was interested to see him team up again with his AFTER YANG (2021) star Colin Farrell, in a blacklist script from writer Seth Reiss (THE MENU, 2022).

Matching Colin Farrell with Margot Robbie means that, at a minimum, beautiful movie stars will fill the screen. Beyond their stunning looks, both are extremely talented actors - Farrell has certainly honed his skill over the years, while Robbie is a modern day Grace Kelly. David and Sarah first meet each other at a wedding. The attraction is there, but this encounter ends awkwardly with each going their separate way. We learn they are quasi-miserable lonely souls who see little hope in finding a true soulmate - the message here being that nothing should be assumed until one's own soul-searching is complete.

The world's most bizarre Rental Car counter is staffed by two quirky characters played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge ("Fleabag") and Kevin Kline. A fantastical GPS system in their matching 1994 Saturns finds David and Sarah ordering the same 'fast food cheeseburger' at a roadside diner. This is step one in their titular journey ... so named as David screams it while driving. Now traveling in the same Saturn, this GPS directs them to a series of doors - each connected to some past moment of their lives. A red door leads to a lighthouse, another to a high school musical production, one to a special museum, and yet another to hospital visits. It's part trip down memory lane and part spiritual awakening.

What matters is that David and Sarah are sharing the journey with each other - good memories and bad. Stepping through the doors exposes bits of their life and personality that might take years for two in a relationship to discover, if ever they would. Dealing with one's own past is a first step in moving forward, much less in accepting another to share a life with. Regrets, missed opportunities, grief, and hurdles are all part of what make us who we are. Supporting cast members include Lily Rabe, Billy Magnussen, Jodi Turner-Smith, and Sarah Gadon. Hamish Linklater nails his one crucial scene as David's dad ... surprisingly, it's the film's best scene. Whether it's viewed as a search for one's own soul or for a soulmate, the film deals with the baggage that goes with being a grown-up.

Some critics may call A Big Bold Beautiful Journey a sappy romance wannabe, all style, no substance. That may be true, yet multiple moments of truth emerge such as the difficulty of connecting romantically with anyone and the power of the past, carried by memory, to shape the present and let emerge success in love.

Delight in the way director Kogonada and writer Seth Reiss bring together two stars into a distributed exposition that may allow love to flourish is a result of little sappiness and much deliberation rather than typical Hollywood saccharine. Colin Farrell's David and Margot Robbie's Sarah resist entanglement even from the get-go cute wedding meet up. As they share the same strange rental car with a dangerously-directive GPS, each is cool to the idea of a hookup, occupied as they are with following the commands to enter various magic doors, usually to their pasts.

In a sense, when they cross time to his high-school musical and her home, they are telescoping the time it would take, maybe years to get to know each other. Never do the time-travel incidents provide soft sentiments; rather they help two potential lovers become grounded, quickly understanding the character of their fellow passenger.

Not all stops are felicitous, for death and disappointment accompany the travels as they do in real life. My amusement at this odd-ball romance is how real life intersects romance, a romance not adorned with hearts and flowers but with challenging past lives that give each one a chance to grasp love despite challenging unromantic memories.

Besides the reluctant romance for the two leads, minor roles help bolster the fantasy while exposing the challenges of finding and embracing romance. Katie Byron's production design from magic doors and rainy wedding to a highly-stylized high-school musical reinforces the glamor of memory and the disappointment of loss.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is both romantic and realistic, resisting cynicism, accepting reality, and embracing the possibilities that salutary moments bring even to the most guarded lives. Love turns out to be bold and beautiful.

"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.

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.

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?

The movie had potential, but it dragged and leaned too hard on forced drama instead of good storytelling. The pacing was slow, the emotional beats felt manufactured, and the characters came across as more unlikeable than sympathetic.

The female lead is introduced sleeping with a random guy, which added nothing but more of the same "no consequences" messaging. Later, she's portrayed as a flake, while Colin's character is framed as a love bomber. Both arcs felt more like clichés than real people, which made the romance fall flat.

The time-travel concept could've been fun, but it lacked explanation and mostly served as a backdrop for heavy-handed "life lessons." Instead of feeling meaningful, it came across as another layer of negativity.

Overall, the film didn't deliver the lighthearted, funny tone the trailer promised. A few decent ideas here and there, but bogged down by pacing, messaging, and unlikable leads.

Final Verdict: 5/10 - interesting premise, poor execution.

This is a very special movie. It feels like a combination of a theater play and a film, simple backgrounds, minimal effects, maybe 10 main actors with significant speaking roles and the rest as extras. But the main actors are incredible.

It's a very deep film and it's definitely worth watching in a cinema. I feel this movie truly needs the big screen and the atmosphere of a theater to pull you in. It feels like an intense therapy session, making you reflect deeply on your own life.

I wouldn't recommend it for teenagers, because I think you need a certain level of maturity to appreciate it fully. But it's a movie parents should watch to reconnect with themselves, their past, their history and their experiences.

I loved the film, but I also understand it may not be for everyone. It challenges you to think: about the roles life assigns, about your own choices and about how different decisions might have shaped your life.

Just doesn't really work on any level outside of some nice visuals.

Robbie & Farrell (he needs to stop dying his hair) have no chemistry and only speak in profundities. Nobody speaks like that guys !

Flat attempts at humour.

Plodding, dull plotting.

Cliched and cringe.

Some nice song choices.

Hugely disappointing though.

Some people will hate it.

(I've read the reviews here, and they do) But if your interests encompass more than sequels and multiverses you could really like this. I didn't really know what to expect from the trailer it looks like a romcom and it isn't, really.

There is an interesting dynamic between the two of them, I really did feel like they were on that big bold beautiful journey, and that I got to travel some of it with them.

The family scenes with both characters will really hit home to anyone who remembers when they discovered that their parents were mortal.

Beautifully shot, a bit dark in the colour palette for me.

It's a film about grief, letting go and trying to move on.

I'm still thinking about it, and thinking I want to go see it again because I think I missed something that could help.

The movie was truly enjoyable, and the acting was excellent - the cast really delivered.

It's not a film for just anyone; you need depth and an understanding of life to really get it.

It's about a journey of healing, with a philosophical touch that makes you dive into many aspects of existence.

But most importantly, the film reminds you that reconciliation with yourself is what truly matters.

The meanings and the journey were so beautiful, the cinematography was stunning, and the actors were captivating.

It's a journey with beauty itself - unique, deeply enchanting, and truly magical.

Bravo! 👏

8.5.

So looking forward to this one as I love both of the leads and romcoms but sadly this was lacking on so many levels and a real waste of time. The leads Margo and Colin had little to no chemistry and their characters were so unlikeable. Not sure where the romance and comedy was but it was seriously lacking in this highly introspective, joyless film . The only bright moment was Colin Farrel singing in a childhood musical for a few minutes. Soulless, shallow and superficial . If you are into romcoms you will be disappointed.

LIKES: Acting Musical Moments Musical Covers The Touching Moments Comedy Moments Are Fun Compassion The Messages With Heart Summary: Like a good book to read and reflect on, this film is a simplistic journey through life with a slight twist to explore one's inner self. A journey between the two leads is all about uncovering themselves beneath the layers they built, finding these doors in the middle of nowhere to take them back in time to explore opportunities missed. Within these elements, the audience is subjected to a multitude of life trials to reflect upon and uncover the strength perhaps we had to put aside. It's touching at many moments, the compassion and love (not just romance) that serves to teach us lessons that are becoming lost in this world of hate and greed. These messages have heart, almost like a metaphorical psychologist is guiding the tale, pushing realistic approaches with a spice of movie magic to help add that pizazz. This may sound like a preachy, uplifting, drama worthy of a self-help book, but trust me, there are some other elements to help stir some life into this drier drama. The comedy is witty, fun, and well-timed, with this bizarre situation getting plenty of challenges and pokes that are entertaining. And the musical moments and covers add some energy to the mix, but still have an excellent selection for the scene to capture the full potential. It fashions into a charming piece that feels beautiful, but still approachable to many if given the proper chance.

And bringing much of this together is a limited cast that does what they need to put this odd adventure into a lane people can enjoy. Farrell is charming, witty, and sly in many mannerisms, only to have to change gears into something much more vulnerable and compelling. Robbie does a bit less fluctuating, but the performance she brings is a lovely blend of hurt, defense, beauty, intelligence, and intrigue that makes for a compelling story to pursue. Alone, these elements show some depth, but together, they meld into something stronger, playing off of one another to strengthen into something much more engaging than either tale alone. I loved their dynamic together, and felt that we could have seen even more had the dislikes I had not occurred.

DISLIKES: Needs More Magic There Was More Heart And Stories To Tell A Tad Boring Needed Some More Musical Moments Feels A Bit Unorganized An Ending that Feels A Bit Of A Let Down Summary Where the movie starts to fail is that with all this heart, the journey feels a little too modern and lacking some of the finesse that I like to see in these fantasy concepts. The magical element started to remind me of an Alice and Wonderland twist, but turned out to be diluted into a rather bland approach, a mere GPS-driven set of interludes that mostly felt stagnant. The doors at first made up for these driving moments, but after the first few doors, the magic was lost again; these elements felt somewhat emotional, yet still didn't have the full bite I like in these elements. They sort of toned it down, and I felt there was more to uncover and march through than what we got. This could have involved some harder moments, some wilder transitions, or perhaps more building from those earlier stages to help, but instead, time seemed to have gotten the best of this film, resulting in simpler impasses to overcome. More musical numbers could have added pep, or at least a fun expression of the questions and answers that we know musicals can bring. I also felt that the organization seemed a bit off, a somewhat linear tale that felt like a few of these stops were in the wrong order. It's certainly not the worst, but there was just a sense of some disconnect that I was hoping wasn't going to be the case. Perhaps this could have been averted with a grand climactic finish, something to bring my likes together in that ultimate way to deliver a powerful blow that bestows some lingering emotion. Again, not really the case. The ending fits the characters, it's realistic, and it does the job enough, but in that regard, that lack of Hollywood finesse just makes the journey feel a bit blander than I had hoped, especially given the potential laid by the trailers. This, I think, is what magnifies the slower elements, which end up becoming the complaint of boredom that I've been seeing in reviews.

The VERDICT: A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey is a journey into the self, full of that splendor that reflection brings with it. Poetry in acting, the life-lessons on this bizarre journey are exemplified by some strong performances between the two, doing their best to evolve characters in their portrayals. With some good comedy, musical pizazz, a good cover soundtrack, and some compassion, these elements serve as some heartfelt guidance to finding oneself. But I feel there was more potential within the doors to make this movie shine. That fantasy element is there, but perhaps it's a little stunted by a time limit, the balance of real and fake, and trying to address a lot of moments while staying original. It's not horrible, where relevance is a strong factor to help resonate with the characters. Without that, though, the movie might feel sluggish, boring, and quite dull, lacking the full magic of the movies that we've become accustomed to. With all that in mind, the movie comes off as a great film to dive into for self-growth, but this might be maximized at home over the theater. Thus, with all this in mind, I give this film: Drama/Fantasy/Romance: 7.0 Movie Overall: 6.0.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, directed by Kogonada, is a visual and emotional meditation on time, regret, and reconnection. The film follows **Sarah** (Margot Robbie) and **David** (Colin Farrell), two strangers who meet at a wedding and, by chance, set out together on a journey in an old car guided by a **mysterious GPS** - a device that, almost magically, allows them to revisit defining moments from their pasts. What begins as a simple road trip soon transforms into a symbolic traversal through memory, pain, and self-discovery.

True to the contemplative and poetic style he revealed in *Columbus* and *After Yang*, **Kogonada** crafts a narrative in which time feels pliable and space becomes a mirror of the soul. His geometric compositions, filtered light, and long silences create an atmosphere that invites the viewer not to consume, but to observe. He films the road not as a physical path, but as a state of being, and in every movement of the camera there is something spiritual - a gaze searching for beauty and meaning in the ordinary.

The performances by **Robbie** and **Farrell** form the heart of the film. Margot Robbie delivers a wide emotional range, moving gracefully between fragility and determination, as Sarah tries to reconcile herself with her past choices. Colin Farrell reaffirms his mastery of introspective drama, portraying David as restrained, melancholic, and almost ethereal. Together, they build a relationship marked by recognition and quiet wonder - a love that doesn't arise from coincidence, but from the sharing of scars. Their chemistry, natural and understated, gives human warmth to a film that, at times, risks intellectual detachment.

Visually, *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey* is stunning. **Benjamin Loeb's** cinematography weaves soft, symbolic hues - the distant blue of longing, the warm amber of memory - in perfect harmony with the oscillation between past and future. The costume design subtly charts the emotional arc of the characters: darker, heavier fabrics give way to lighter, almost translucent tones as the burden of memory lifts with each passing mile. **Daniel Pemberton's** score deepens this introspective atmosphere - minimalistic, melodic, and fragmented, like the emotions the film seeks to piece together. The sound never overwhelms the image; it surrounds it, leaving spaces of silence that speak louder than words.

Narratively, the film unfolds at a deliberate pace. Kogonada is in no hurry - he demands a viewer willing to surrender to the rhythm of contemplation. There are moments when the symbolism overreaches, and the second act risks losing momentum, but the circular structure and the recurring metaphor of "doors" - as thresholds between time and identity - hold the film together. What the director suggests is not that we can change the past, but that by understanding it, we may release ourselves from it.

Ultimately, *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey* is less a road romance than an emotional mirror. It is about accepting that the future only exists when we can look at the past with tenderness. Kogonada confirms himself as a filmmaker who captures the invisible: the silence between two people, the glimmer between what was and what might have been. Despite a certain emotional detachment that prevents the film from achieving full resonance, it remains a work of rare sensitivity and formal beauty. A visual and poetic tale about love, time, and the transformative power of memory.

The idea of the movie is great, but something made it extremely chaotic... maybe the writing?

It could have been much deeper and more organized, but it ended up being a disappointment.

The movie is messy in an annoying way, and I have to admit it even gave me a bit of a headache.

What makes this even more disappointing is that the movie tries to be philosophical. It raises questions about how memories shape who we are, but the answers are delivered in such a direct and shallow way that nothing feels profound. The dialogue often feels forced, like it's trying too hard to be deep when in reality it says very little.

Visually and emotionally, the movie misses its chance to impress. Instead of being a big, bold, and beautiful journey, it feels like a lost, messy, and headache-inducing one.

This film could have been so much better - deeper, cleaner, and more powerful. Sadly, it ends up being a wasted opportunity and a disappointing experience.

I'm honestly surprised this film has such a modest rating, because for me A Big Bold Beautiful Journey was one of the most moving and beautiful cinema experiences in a long time. From the very first scene I felt completely inside its world. The story speaks about something that many of us live with but rarely see portrayed so delicately on screen, how every person carries a past, how we all run from unresolved pain, and how patterns like anxious or avoidant attachment grow out of old wounds. The metaphor of the door is perfect, only by stepping through it, accepting and integrating the past, can we truly open to love.

The cast is outstanding. Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell bring such subtle chemistry and I loved the dry, dark humor that surfaces through the Irish and British touches, even small jokes about death had a strange, healing lightness. I found myself constantly smiling, laughing and then suddenly tearing up, which is exactly what I want from a great film.

Visually it's stunning: poetic camera work and art direction that turn every frame into a little piece of magic. It's surprising that with actors of this caliber the marketing was so quiet, I hadn't even heard of the movie until it appeared in my local cinema. Maybe the studio didn't chase a blockbuster campaign, but that makes it feel like an even bigger treasure to discover.

If you're looking for a film that is both heart-warming and profound, that explores love, memory and emotional courage without clichés, don't let the low rating fool you. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is a gem that deserves to be seen, shared, and loved.

I always see a movie without many expectation.

I don't watch the trailer.

I don't read the review, comment, or rating.

I don't care if the characters is likeable or unlikeable.

------ ------ ------

I love this kind of movie.

It's not spectacular like Dune, Moonlight, or else.

But that's okay.

A lonely (but not lonely) souls trip to the past.

Just like we do with our gf/bf during the introduction period in dating.

We walk through the contents of our partner's past stories and thoughts.

It's about tension in our heart.

Love, pain, pessimistic, optimistic, hope, angry, anxious. Mixed in a cup of tea.

Worth watching. I satisfied.

I left cinema with a heart full of emotions.

No one's going to accuse acclaimed indie filmmaker Kogonada of not taking a big swing with his feature film iteration of Seth Reiss's screenplay but sadly for all the visual beauty and well-intentioned life lessons A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has, it's not enough to save this overtly sappy and too often ill-advised escapade from itself.

The type of film that is going to divide a large portion of its audience between the willing admirers and those that can't stomach the film all the way to the end credits, Journey is an unashamedly fanciful film that wears its heart on its sleeve for better and worse and while Kogonada's commitment to the cause can be commended, it's clear to see on end result that the talented director got the balance wrong this time around.

Destined to be one of the years more notable big studio bombs despite the presence of two well-liked A-list stars in the form of Colin Farrell (here ending his recent hot streak) and Margot Robbie, there's a universe where Journey might just have been balanced perfectly between the whimsical, the philosophical, the heartfelt and the fantastical but while you can see what Journey is trying to do you never really feel it, the beating heart that was important for its success always held at arm's length, as we are instead taken on an aesthetically pleasing but hollow road trip to nowhere.

Asking a lot of Farrell and Robbie, who are required to do all the films heavy lifting acting wise, with the two doing perfectly fine considering the script they are bringing to life and the scenarios they are thrust into that are often mere inches away from veering into extremely trite territory, Journey gets some decent moments between the two leads and some of their banter and interplay stands out amongst the films more clumsy segments but it's not enough to drive Journey forward to become the tale it was seen to be when it found its way onto the Black List of unmade screenplays.

A huge anchor to Journey's overall traversing of its waters is the fact that Kogonada and Reiss aren't at all interested in explaining in any great depth the reasoning behind so much of their films fantasy elements.

We as audience members shouldn't always be expected to have our information spoon fed to us and I'm a great believer as many others are that sometimes leaving some questions unanswered or interpretation open to discussion is a good thing but Journey takes those sentiments a little too far with many likely to be left frustrated by the endgame of Kogonada's film that feels more like a cop out than a powerful statement, making much of what has come before far less impactful than it might have been for those that endured the time to get there.

Final Say -

An undoubtedly well-meaning film that has some undeniably important and impactful messages to deliver, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is a wonderfully crafted but emotionally empty feature film experience that never quite finds its own self amongst its many grand ideas and concepts.

2 Whoppers out of 5.

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.

The idea of taking things slow never occurred to Sarah (Margot Robbie "Barbie") after meeting at a mutual friend's wedding, She and "David" (Colin Farrell "Total Recall") fall quickly head over heels in love in "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey".

Both assisted in their relationship by half a dozen different doors which allow them to travel to crucial defining moments in one another's lives as they grow to understand each other.

At one point "Sarah" accuses "David" of faking his real Irish accent as a pick up technique, whereas it was the Aussie who adopted a US accent for this flick.

"A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" is a drama, fantasy, romance just short of two long hours from director Kogonada ("After Yang").

The film feels special and poetic.

In fact, this movie goes out of its way to let us know that memories matter.

Some might leave the cinema feeling like they've stepped back into some of their own memories from high school etc.

Over the course of this trippy film that feels very theatrical and stagey you have a chance to relive important moments from the lead characters pasts, illuminating the path that led them to the present and gaining the opportunity to change their futures.

Watch out for: Colin and Margot dancing the light fantastic like they were rehearsing for the "La La Land" sequel.

They do all this whilst driving slightly dodgy 1994 Ford Saturns with optional weird talking GPS's they both hired from the almost mythical "The Car Rental Agency" run by the potty mouthed "Female Cashier" (Phoebe Waller-Bridge star of "Fleabag") and "The Mechanic" (Kevin Kline "A Fish Called Wanda") in a huge almost empty warehouse.

Warning: Profanities are dropped like pronouns.

The first portal they come across is a red door in the middle of the woods, nothing unusual here if you're on mushrooms.

One of the many doors leads to "The Magic of Time and Place" art exhibition, which is only fitting considering the writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") is not a fan of linear time and space.

Fun Fact: Both leads are part of the DC Universe with Colin playing "Oz/The Penguin" and Margot as "Harley Quinn".

"A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" could have been sheer genius if it was edited down by about 30 minutes.

You can only hammer home a message and hit viewers over the head with it so many times before the match referee calls for an "HIA".

Thank goodness for our beautiful Queensland lead Robbie who's mesmerising and for those who care Colin goes shirtless in one scene.

Robbie was pregnant during production and is absolutely blooming with health.

Farrell is rumoured to have made sandwiches for Margot after everyday of shooting.

What a gentleman!

I had to infiltrate a "Girls Night Out" to review this film, so the least you can do is check it out on the big screen after this Rooster braved the Henhouse.

I enjoyed the sum of its parts and was pleasantly entertained by this starring couple who have great chemistry even with a 14 year age gap.

Great cast, decent idea... but wow, it's painfully slow. Nothing really happens, and the pacing makes it hard to care. I kept waiting for it to finally end. A wasted chance that could've been touching or memorable, but instead it just drags on without spark, energy, or any sense of purpose. Not a memorable movie.

Not quite big & bold but it was beautifully shot and the small glimpses and tiny take aways from each door make this re-watchable. The movie felt like it would be better as a play than a movie, but I think that was the point. It was a two person show and the performance shined. The two characters together brought out each other's pasts. This movie was less about getting together more about helping each other navigate their past to develop their future.
