A big bold beautiful journey' by kogonada is a film that fully embraces its cinematic nature, using fantasy, touches of science fiction, and magical realism to explore the essence of romantic cinema. it doesn’t aim to build a closed alternate universe or a dystopia but instead uses these elements to enhance the emotional and poetic layers of the story while staying grounded in human experience. the performances of margot robbie and colin farrell shine more through their chemistry than individually, robbie balances charm and restraint naturally, while farrell provides a measured presence that becomes the emotional core of the narrative. dialogue is simple and casual but carries a reflective undertone, giving weight to the story without pretension, cinematography invites admiration of every frame.
